  • Story Text: Swedish Crown Princess Victoria visited the site of the central Stockholm attack on Saturday (April 8), where a truck ploughed into a crowd on a shopping street and crashed into a department store on Friday (April 7), killing four people and wounding 15.
    The Crown Princess placed flowers at the spot and bowed her head in a mark of respect, before briefly speaking to media and leaving.
    Police have detained one person in a northern Stockholm suburb after earlier circulating a picture of a man wearing a grey hoodie in connection with the investigation into the attack on Drottninggatan (Queen Street) using a hijacked beer truck. They did not rule out the possibility other attackers were involved.
    Local authorities in the capital said early Saturday that six of the injured had been able to leave hospital while eight adults and one child remained hospitalized.
