The truck was a Spendrups brewery truck and was hijacked from driver, who was uninjured.

The Swedish news agency TT says several people have been taken away in ambulances to hospitals

Videos show hundreds of people running for their lives in the streets of Stockholm.

Currently, the Stockholm train stations are shut down because there is allegedly an active shooter “loose in building.”

This comes after trucks were used in terror attacks in Nice and Berlin last year.
