Eight people injured after suspected terrorist attack in Sweden
A man has injured eight people, three seriously, in a stabbing attack in a south Swedish town which police are treating as suspected terrorism, BBC reported.
The assailant, who is in his twenties, struck in five different locations in the centre of Vetlanda around 15:00 (14:00 GMT), police say. Within minutes he was shot and wounded by police, and is now in custody.
Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said the "horrific violence" was a reminder of "how frail our safe existence is".
"We face these despicable actions with the combined force of the community," he posted on Facebook.
Extra police officers have been put on patrol in the area.
