An explosion took place at a restaurant in Bredäng in southern Stockholm during the night of Saturday.
– We received an alarm at three minutes past three from residents at Bredängstorget who called and said they heard a loud bang and when we got there we could ascertain that something had exploded in connection with a restaurant, says Per Fahlström, press spokesperson at the Stockholm Police.
No one is said to have been injured in the explosion.
– There was damage to the facade, but we have no reports of personal injuries, says Per Fahlström.
It was unclear last night if the explosion was aimed at the restaurant.
– We don’t know that yet, but it has exploded precisely in connection with it, says Per Fahlström.
The area was cordoned off during the night in anticipation of the national bomb protection and police technicians and police have started a preliminary investigation regarding gross public danger destruction and violation of the Explosive and Flammable Goods Act.
At 4:30 a.m., no one had been arrested for the crime.
