The alarm about a strong smell suspected to be gas went off at 43 on Friday and the center was evacuated.

Three people were taken to hospital by ambulance.

I don't have any exact details about the injuries, but as far as I know, no one is seriously injured. It may be a matter of having inhaled the strong smell and getting supervision at the hospital, says Carina Skagerlind at Stockholm police to TT.

Three more people who were in Täby Centrum sought care for "certain symptoms", the police write on their website.

The rescue service reported earlier that there was an alarm about a chlorine smell.

The rescue service later tells Expressen that it is about a leak from a purification plant for the outdoor fountain. The plant is located in the basement.

I think it's sodium hypochlorite. Then how the whole purification process works together if it's mixed to chlorine or something, I don't know, says a leading operator to the newspaper.

The police have initiated a preliminary investigation regarding bodily injury and causing danger to others.
