A man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and serious weapons offenses after a shooting in Hagsätra, in southern Stockholm.

The alarm about the incident came in to the police at 20.36 on Monday.

Two plaintiffs were identified during the evening and were questioned about the events. None of them were injured.

We believe that the shots were most likely intended for them. They barely managed to avoid the bullets, said the police's press spokesperson Ola Österling to TT on Monday evening.

The police are investigating possible links to gang criminality.
