There were several people who called in about a loud bang right outside a multi-family house, says the police's press spokesperson Carina Skagerlind.

Once on the scene, the police patrols could establish that the gate to the building had suffered minor damage. No one was physically injured.

We have cordoned off the area and carried out a large number of controls of people and cars.

Do you have any idea who could be the target of this?

That's part of what we're looking at. But right now, the focus is on finding one or more perpetrators and securing the crime scene. The motive, we'll have to get back to, it's a bit too early, says Skagerlind.

The incident is classified as reckless endangerment and a crime against the law on fire hazardous and explosive goods.
