01:03Sweden: 'Whole country in a state of shock' - Prime Minister Lofven
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said that the country is "in a state of shock" after earlier on Friday a truck ploughed through crowds killing at least four people in central Stockholm.
"At 2:53 pm a truck violently rammed a pedestrian street in the heart of our capital leaving at least four dead, some 15 people seriously injured and our whole country is of course in a state of shock," Lofven said.
A massive manhunt conducted in a northern Stockholm suburb Marsta resulted in one man being detained who matched a photo released by police earlier in the day.
According to Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet, the man has been identified as a 39-year-old Uzbek national who has reportedly confessed to carrying out the attack.
