Stockholm lorry rams crowds, killing 'at least three people'

'A lorry has smashed into a store in central Stockholm, killing at
least three people, Swedish media say.
Several people were also injured in the incident on Drottninggatan
(Queen Street), one of the city's major pedestrian streets.

Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said everything pointed to
an act of terrorism.

Local media reported one arrest, but police have said no-one is
being held.

The police have also released a grainy image of a man, who was
caught on CCTV and is deemed a person of interest in the case.
Police at the scene told reporters three people had been killed,
but the death toll has not been confirmed by police headquarters.

The lorry was hijacked earlier on Friday, its owner said.
The crash happened at the Ahlens department store just before
15:00 local time (13:00 GMT)...'
