The alarm came just before 8pm on Sunday evening and the emergency services, police and ambulance were called to the scene.
A road has been blocked off north of Stockholm due to a suspected serious crime.
The police are very secretive but say that they are on site and working.
– We are working on the scene with track protection, says Daniel Wikdahl, press spokesperson for the police in the Stockholm region.
According to the police, there is much uncertainty surrounding the incident.
The text is updated.
The police were alerted during the morning to Brandbergen in Stockholm.
– It is a little unclear what has happened. A person appears to have been thrashing about with what is possibly a shovel. It starts with someone smashing windows and this appears to be a residential building, says Daniel Wikdahl, spokesperson for the police.
The incident is currently classified as vandalism.
After observation in surveillance cameras, the police were alerted at 01:44 to a bicycle workshop in Masmo, south of Stockholm.
– It was seen that people entered a bicycle workshop and ran around with flashlights, says Daniel Wikdahl at the police’s regional command center.
At the scene, a 45-year-old man on a bicycle was arrested immediately.
Another person was tracked by a dog patrol, but when he was about to be arrested, he kicked the dog and fled into Lake Albysjön.
– We didn’t swim after, but followed out in the rescue service’s boat, says Daniel Wikdahl.
The man jumped into the water at 02.15 and could only be picked up for 39 minutes to be arrested.
– He was cold but seemed to be fine. It took a while to find him, but the patrols had verbal contact with him in the water.
The man was examined on the spot by paramedics. He is now suspected of theft and blue light sabotage. The latter classification refers to the violence against the dog.
For almost an hour during the night to Monday, the police chased a car between Älmhult and Osby – round trip.
The driver, a man in his 20s, was arrested at 01:00.
– He didn’t stop at the policeman’s sign, then it goes at fairly high speeds. They try to catch him, but can’t stop. With one more push, you finally get a stop. There are two police vehicles that pushed him, says Viktor Jensen, on-call preliminary investigation manager at the police in Växjö, to Smålandsposten.
The man is now suspected of gross drunk driving, gross negligence in traffic and drug offences, the newspaper writes.
A man in his 40s was robbed around midnight at Flatenbadet in southern Stockholm.
He himself raised the alarm to the police and said that several unknown perpetrators attacked him when he was going to live in a tent.
– He has gotten rid of a lot of possessions and they have emptied his car, says Daniel Wikdahl, press spokesperson at the police.
According to information to Aftonbladet, the man was tied up by the perpetrators.

The alarm came at 9:24 p.m. The train left Stockholm at 17.04 with destination Malmö.
– We have transferred the passengers to another train that could run onto the track next to it. The rescue service helps with two people in wheelchairs who could not get out by themselves, says Lina Edström at SJ’s press service.
She does not believe that the train stop will have any major consequences.
– It is late in the traffic day and not that much traffic. Because there are two tracks, traffic can pass by, she says.

Traffic accidents involving overloaded trucks, tankers and transport vehicles are frequent in Nigeria. Archive image. Photo: Mansur Ibrahim/AP/TT
About 50 people have died in a serious traffic accident in Nigeria on Sunday. A fuel transport collided head-on with a truck, according to the country’s national rescue service.
The official death toll in the Agaie region of Niger state was 48 on Sunday night. Local media reports that the victims were immediately buried in a mass grave.
The truck was traveling from Wudil in Kano State, with a heavy load of livestock in addition to the passengers.
About 50 livestock were also burned beyond recognition in the collision with the tanker.
The head of the emergency services, Abdullahi Baba-Arab, said that 30 victims were initially found at the scene of the accident but that the death toll rose when the vehicles involved in the severe collision were examined.
Accidents involving trucks are a frequent occurrence on Nigeria’s country roads. A large part of the transport takes place on country roads as there is a lack of developed rail traffic. In addition, accidents involving tankers carrying fuel and gasoline have become a problem, according to Baba-Arab at the rescue service.
The latest statistics, according to the AP news agency, from 2020 showed that over 1,500 accidents occurred with petrol tankers, resulting in over 500 deaths.

Algeria’s incumbent President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has emerged victorious from the country’s presidential election, receiving nearly 95 percent of the vote.
Electoral Commission Chairman Mohamed Charfi says that “the election was characterized by extensive transparency” and “reflected the people’s attitude to elections”.
– Of the 5,630,000 votes cast, 5,320,000 votes went to the independent candidate Tebboune, Charfi said in a statement that was delayed three hours for unknown reasons.
Exact data on turnout was missing when the electoral commission Anie announced the results. In the past, the opposition has boycotted elections.
The main opponents were the moderate Islamist Abdelaali Hassani and the socialist candidate Youcef Aouchiche.
In the 2019 election, only 40 percent of those eligible to vote in Algeria voted.

Iraq and the United States have agreed on a timetable for how and when all foreign military forces fighting Islamist militant groups must leave the country.
This is stated by Iraq’s Minister of Defense Thabet al-Abbassi in the Saudi television channel al-Hadath.
According to him, the international coalition will leave bases in most of Iraq in September 2025 and in Kurdistan a year later.
Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani demanded at New Year that the forces leave the country, but months of talks between Iraq and the United States have so far appeared fruitless.
This summer, the US warned that IS is trying to re-establish itself in the region. The terrorist movement claimed in July that it was behind a total of 153 attacks in Iraq and Syria during 2024.
The international forces in Iraq have been in place since 2014 to, among other things, fight the terrorist movement IS. The US has around 2,500 soldiers in Iraq and 900 in Syria as part of the operation.
