Police have launched an investigation into a possible terror attack.

Eye witnesses said the truck belonged to a popular beer brand. It’s unclear who was behind the wheel.

“It crashed into a window a few meters from us,” an eye witness told public broadcaster SVT. “I heard glass getting shattered and people screaming. There are police and people everywhere. People are running from the scene.”
