6th LD Writethru: Swedish police publicize photo of potential suspect

Swedish police has publicized a photo in connection with the attack in central Stockholm.

The picture was released by Swedish Security Service SAPO, according to Swedish Television. Police want urgently to get in touch with the man on the picture.

Swedish Television(SVT) quoted a police source that a preliminary investigation of suspected terrorist crimes has been initiated.

Heavily armed police can be seen in many parts of central Stockholm, said SVT.

In the latest press conference, the police said that they did not know if this was an isolated incident or whether more could be expected.

Currently, Swedish National Rail company said that all trains to and from Stockholm Central Station have been canceled.

Additionally, several lanes on the Oresund Bridge, connecting the Danish capital Copenhagen and the southern Swedish city of Malmo, have been shut down at the police request.

"So we have only two lanes for cars open in the direction of Denmark for the police to be able to control," police spokesperson Sanna Holmqvist told SVT.

In Malmo, the police are now looking through and check the trains on the way to Denmark, according to SVT.

All traffic around the Stockholm city, including subway and train, has been closed after the attack. Traffic barriers were put in place in many parts of Stockholm. Police have also urged people not to move to the Old Town, saying the people in the south of the city should stay indoors.

Currently, the crime scene and the area around the Central Station in the center of Stockholm is still cordoned off.

As no subways or bus services that run in the inner city, tens of thousands of locals are now on their way home on foot from the center of Stockholm.

Police in the city have called on all people to stop waiting for the subway and instead go back home.

Many people in Stockholm's city center have been still trapped and remained in their offices or shops after the attack.

Five different premises will be opened for those who are in the center of Stockholm, and can not go home because of the stopped underground traffic, wrote the Stockholm City on its website.

There have been several witness sources which said about shootings at various locations in Stockholm. However, this is not confirmed information. Police denied that any gunfire have taken place.

A truck rammed into people on a central Stockholm street before crashing into a department store on Friday, with police and witnesses saying three people had died and eight others injured in the incident. Endit
