Prime Minister Stefan Löfven reacted to the incident as the “horrific violence” was a reminder of “how frail our safe existence is”. The police spokeswoman Angelica Israelsson Silfver said to the Aftonbladet newspaper,” Some are seriously injured and some are slightly injured, but no one is dead,” the situation was under control and there was no evidence of additional perps included in the happening. A similar incident has taken place in April 2017, when a radical Islamist has deliberately collided a truck into a mass of shoppers on a busy street in central Stockholm which killed five people. Later, he was arrested.
