One person has been arrested so far in a suspected terror attack in Stockholm in which three people were killed.

A truck drove into a crowd in central Stockholm on Friday, said reports. A number of people have been injured, but the exact toll is yet to be ascertained.

The incident took place at Drottninggatan/ Kungsgatan intersection of the Swedish capital.

Some reports also say that the truck rammed into a department store window.

According to reports, the truck, which belonged to Swedish brewery company Spendrups, was hijacked earlier in the day.

Some shots being fired could also be heard.

Swedish PM has said that the incident could be a possible terror attack.

Stockholm's subway system has been shut down.

The attack took place a few metres away from the Indian embassy.

According to reports, all the employees of the Indian Embassy are safe.

A similar incident in Germany's capital Berlin during Christmas week last year had left several people dead.
