The preliminary investigation concerns attempted murder, attempted aggravated property damage and attempted aggravated violation of the Act on Flammable and Explosive Goods, police wrote on their website.
The police cordoned off an area near Medborgarplatsen in Stockholm after a suspected dangerous object was found in a pub shortly after 9 p.m. on Wednesday evening.
The object was reportedly thrown in without exploding. National bomb disposal technicians were called to the scene.
The police were able to announce at midnight that two people had been taken into custody. This happened after a chase, according to Björling.
There were witnesses at the scene, among other things, who have helped us with this. We have assistance from cameras and other measures and resources that the police have. I can't go into more at the moment, but we have two people whom we suspect of this, he says about how the police became suspicious of the two.
There were guests in the venue, but everyone got out and no one was injured. It is unclear who the target of the attack was.
We don't have any such details at this time.
