Several people are injured after a vehicle drove into a crowd on one of Stockholm's main shopping streets, according to media reports.
15:20: "At 14:53 we got the call via SOS alarm that some people have injured other people on Drottninggatan near Klarabergsgatan. Now we're at the scene to deal with it," a police spokesperson has told The Local.

Police said they currently do not know how many people are injured and are working with emergency services to find out.

"I have no idea where the vehicle is now, this is the information available to me."

Police would not comment on whether the incident could be terror related, nor what has happened to the vehicle, and stated they are still assessing what has happened.

"I don't know where the vehicle is at the moment, but we will update that information on our website."

15:11: Police confirmed in a statement published at 2.53pm that they have received reports that "a person in a vehicle has injured other people".

Remains to see whether this was an accident or a deliberate attack.

God this is happening frequently.

It should be reported on and then mentioned in bulletins. Nothing more. Obsessing over it, will not help the situation.

Kay Burley live from the scene for the next 24 hours talking about what the man wore, and whether or not he has connections to video games and/or ISIS is only going to encourage more of these attacks.

What? Traffic accidents?

BBC reporting it as a car, other sources a truck. I would guess the latter is correct

Assuming this is deliberate.
Any w@nker who can get a vehicle in gear can now kill people. To no end as far as I can see, except publicity.

I just called a friend of mine in Stockholm when I heard what happened to see if she's alright. She said they're all locked in a H&M store a minute away from where it happened. Everyone's panicking and loads of people ran into H&M shouting "GET AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS".

Scary stuff folks.

Reports of at least three people killed and you think you're being clever with a comment like that?

Quite sparse detail on the BBC atm, apparently witnesses report several people on the ground, taking place on the 'Drottninggatan' or Queen Street.

100% agree, although how do you stop the media reporting on it? Unfortunately these type of attacks are practically impossible to prepare against, and I fear they will become more commonplace now that attackers see the impact they have.

Elon Musk needs to hurry up with self driving cars...

Good man. We should suppress the story as much as possible, the ignorant peasants have no right to know about current threats and very real ideological incompatibilities. Just like Cologne and Rotherham. Sure what's a few thousand rapes and murders when it comes to pretending all is rosy with the failed experiment of multiculturalism.

In fact, lets go a step further and prosecute anyone who tries to draw attention to these threats. 'Hate speech', we'll call it...

Not really. In the past terrorists blew up bombs or shot people. Now they simply get in a vehicle and drive in to crowds. I have not heard of this as a terrorist tactic before Nice.

Could well be some auld lad having a heart attack, it does happen to be fair.

Its a sad world we live in. RIP to the victims.

It should be reported and also if the looper driving it has changed his name then his original name should only be used not some twisted sheite he has decided to change it to.

Wrong, if the twisted belief system has been the cause of it, then it should be reported as the main cause.

Hyperbole is unnecessary.

What is the purpose of terrorism? The purpose of terrorism is to create hysteria, panic, and draw as much attention to your cause through the actions you take. So, do you think reporting on the issue at a pedantic level is going to help or thwart terrorist actions?

I didn't say ignore the event. I said it should be treated like other news, during bulletins.

I'm sure the Musician Yusuf Islam would be happy for you to refer to him as Cat Stevens alright.

What is the point of sweeping pertinent details under the carpet?

What is your agenda?

not his legal name though, why do you want to censor his ties to islamism?

So? He went be a different name, use that. Especially in the media.

Again all one can say is how senseless it all is.

The Swedish police have already taken care of that.

Or are we waiting for the screeching Guardian to do an article about fashionable beards before we comment?

It promotes his cause using his made up name, having him by his birth name portrays him as a 100% pure maniac which he is no matter what name he tries to gloss that over with.

Read a few reports there.
One mentioned the vehicle being a lorry and that shots were fired.

Aren't all the major religions peaceful?

Not excusing their behaviour but its extremist muslims carrying out these acts.

Christians have done the same too.

IRA a good example as they thought that their catholic god was on their side.

look we get confirmation isis is involved ill be firmly encamped on the racist islamophobes side but no point jumping the gun at the same time!

Something contributed to his mental state, and if he wasn't brainwashed to the extent that he changed his name and then went on a murderous rampage the likelihood that he kills people is drastically reduced.

the name change is inherently linked to the rampage, make no mistake about it.

If indeed he has any other name, the influx into sweden is well documented.
