Two people have been taken to hospital after a fire in an apartment in a multi-family building in Brandbergen south of Stockholm on the night of Monday.

– In the immediate area, a person who was behaving abnormally was found. After being taken into care, it was decided that the person should be arrested, says Daniel Wikdahl, press spokesperson at the police.

The alarm about the fire on a balcony came at 04.30. A little over an hour later it was off.

The two who were taken to hospital had difficulty breathing, but none of them are said to be seriously injured. The police do not currently suspect that the incident is connected to the gang criminal environment.
