There are unclear injuries, but the person is awake and able to speak, says the police's press spokesperson Angelica Forsberg.

The alarm came at 14.07 on Thursday.

The information we have is that there was an explosion in a pressure cooker that was standing in a villa garage. A large part of the garage has collapsed. When we arrived, one person who was in the garage was taken out, says Patrick Johansson, officer in charge at the rescue service.

An area has been cordoned off and there may be a risk of further explosions.

Currently, there is a small fire in the remains of the garage and according to reports, there may be gas cylinders. We are investigating this, says Johansson.

A preliminary investigation has been initiated for reckless endangerment, a so-called negligence offense.
