This is a ongoing breaking news story. More information is expected, this article is uppdated regularly...
At 2:53 pm, Friday afternoon, police was alerted to Drottninggatan, a main shopping street in downtown Stockholm.
An hour later Swedish prime minister Stefan Löfven states that Sweden has become the scene for an apparent terrorist attack.

”Points to an act of terror”
”Sweden has been attacked, everything points to an act of terror” says Löfven in a brief statement.
A lorry was, in what seems to be a deliberate attack, driven several blocks along the pedestrian street and both hit and ran over several people. According to the Swedish Security Service at least two have been found dead and there is ”a large number of wounded”.
The lorry then drove straight into the storefront of the Åhléns department store, a main spot for Friday shoppers in the Swedish capital. Shortly thereafter the lorry caught fire.
”I saw hundreds of people running. They ran for their lives” says eyewitness Anna to Aftonbladet. ”I turned and ran aswell!”

Panic as the lorry ran over people
Swedish public radio, SR, reported previously that the Swedish prime minister confirmed that an arrest had been made, but at a press conference at 5:50 pm, Friday afternoon, the Swedish Security Service says that no one has been arrested as of yet.
Another eywitness, Durde, tells Aftonbladet of how he saw the lorry hit innocent bystanders: ”The lorry just drove, full speed ahead, down Drottninggatan hitting people” he says. ”We had to throw ourselves into an H&M store, and then the lorry hit Åhléns”.
Doing some Friday shopping on the street of Drottninggatan Jan Granroth heard people scream: ”We were inside a shoe store and heard noise. I looked out from the store to see this huge truck slam into the wall on the opposite side of the street” says he.

”I ran as fast as I could”
Granroth had to escape through an emergency exit out onto a neighboring backstreet.
Dimitris, another eyewitness describes the panic when the truck came out of nowhere.
”I was walking on the main street when a big truck came out of nowhere” he tells Aftonbladet. ”I could not see if anyone was driving it, but it seemed out of control. I saw at least two people being run over. I ran as fast as I could away from there”.
Central Stockholm is currently under a complete lockdown. Car traffic as well as trains and underground trains have all been blocked from entering or leaving the area.

Bomb threat against the Central station
The Swedish government offices, situated a block from Drottninggatan, approximately 700 meters from where the attack took place, has been evacuated and all ministers put to safety.
The Stockholm central station, in close proximity to both Drottninggatan shopping street and Åhléns department store, has also been evacuated after a bomb threat, presumed to be related to the attack on street level.
Police are urging people to stay away from downtown Stockholm and to avoid large crowds.
Security footage of man ”wanted for questioning”
Swedish Security Service told during a press conference right before 6pm Friday afternoon, that the lorry, belonging to a well known Swedish brewery, was stolen in central Stockholm shortly before the attack.
During the press conference the Swedish Security Service also presented of a picture from security footage, taken in close proximity to the Åhléns department store, of a man wanted for questioning. According to the Security Service the man is not a suspect but rather a person of interest, and might have information of importance for the ongoing investigation.

Nah this happens when the security in Sweden sucks.

Sweden got a popultion of 10m and they only got 8500 cops.

Sweden letting everyone in without a clear verification.

Sweden must help the real warriors in middle east which doing the international job and cleaning ISIS and not sit their ass and doing nothing. At least send some modern weapons.

Look, ISIS is growing fast and attacking all europe xounrries one by one. If all countries help each other together then ISIS can be removed easy from middleeast

That's wrong though. I don't get where you get your information but the police authority is the largest Swedish government agency with over 28,000 employees and that's decluded
from SÄPO(Secret Security Police) since become their own agency a few years ago and the Rikskriminalpolisen(National Police Board), as with them, the number would increase as well.

Threats like this was well known, even before this year, this was known to be the biggest security threat put out from SÄPO(Secret Security Police);
Source; https://www.thelocal.se/20170118/the-biggest-terror-threat-facing-sweden-in-2017

"'Lone wolves' pose the biggest terror threat to Sweden in 2017, according to a new national report."

There's also why SÄPO increased the level of emergency preparedness earlier this year / last year. Which you may remember when it was on the news and SÄPO went out and gave information that the rise of terrorism may happen. They increased it into a level 2, of a 3 scale.
