The drama in Stockholm has been evacuated.

The reason is that a sprinkler system has broken. The emergency services were called to the theater shortly before 8 p.m.

– We have a special force that has been called to the scene and will help. They will help clean up the water on the floor, says Marie Nordahl, line operator at the rescue service.

The incident occurred in the middle of the evening’s performance of “King Lear”.

Last week, too, the show was interrupted. By then, rainwater had started to drip down on theatre-goers.

The water then began to leak during the first act of “King Lear” and about ten people were forced to leave the performance.

A security guard intervened against a drunken man in central Luleå.

When the police arrived at the scene, five knives were found.

Now he has been arrested on suspicion of violating the Knife Act.

The police shut down several platforms at Hamburg central station on Wednesday when a man on a train was suspected of being infected with Marburg hemorrhagic fever, reports Bild.

The man is a German medical student who has just flown in from Rwanda, where there is an ongoing outbreak of the virus. During the train journey, he experienced flu symptoms, and was therefore immediately taken to hospital in a special infection rescue vehicle.

The man’s girlfriend, who was traveling with him, was also taken to hospital. The couple’s luggage was also confiscated, writes Bild.

According to the newspaper, there were around 200 passengers on the train. The police will now map who has had contact with the presumably infected people.

Marburg is a virus similar to Ebola and has a fatality rate of up to 90 percent. The disease can cause high fever, severe headache and nausea. The infected may also begin to bleed in the skin and internal organs. Person-to-person transmission is possible through contact with body fluids.

There are no approved vaccines or medicines.

The attack on the Israeli embassies in Stockholm and Copenhagen was ordered by the Foxtrot network, according to information to SVT.

Last year, the police received a tip from an American site about a Swedish IP address where there was child pornography.

But it could not be traced at the time.

Now the police confirm that it was about the man who sexually assaulted preschool children in Ljusdal, reports TV4 News.

– The case was dropped due to evidence problems, says Emma Vangstad, group leader at the police, to the television channel.

After conducting a house search and confiscating his computer, they were able to link last year’s tip to the man.

The information came from the American site “National Center for missing and exploited children”.

– Then you couldn’t deduce who or who were behind the crime itself. Then we got the intelligence information this summer, which meant that we got a reasonable suspect and were able to get a decision about the house search, says Emma Vangstad to TV4 Nyheterna.
