The news comes as Swedish police launched a nationwide manhunt for the person or persons who drove a stolen beer truck down a pedestrian street in the Swedish capital and crashed it into a department store Friday afternoon.
Stockholm police say one person “that can have some kind of connection” to the attack has been arrested.
It’s not clear if that person is the man in a police photo released earlier Friday, wearing a greenish hood at the top of an escalator.
Police are holding a news conference in 30 minutes on the case.
