A powerful explosion occurred just after midnight in a gate at Nordhemsgatan in central Gothenburg, in a neighborhood dense with pubs.
The damage to the apartment building’s gate was extensive.
It is about a powerful detonation. The damage is material, no one was injured, says Johan Josarp, officer on duty at the police to TT.
The police have an extensive operation at the scene, where the national bomb protection team participates.
No one has been arrested, but according to Jonsarp, a man dressed in dark clothing was seen leaving the scene shortly after the incident. The case is being investigated as gross destruction of public danger.
Is this connected to the gang environment?
We are looking at everything that can lead us forward, there is no such known connection at the moment, says Johan Josarp.
In the area where the detonation took place, there is usually a relatively large amount of people moving around.
There are quite a few pubs around there, says Johan Josarp.
A person who lives nearby speaks up Gothenburg Post :
I heard a bang and my whole bed shook.
A person who was sitting in a bar next door says that the bang was felt in the whole body and then it was completely silent.
The alarm came at 00.32 on the night of Friday.
