Police have arrested a terror suspect who has confessed to ramming a truck into shoppers in Stockholm, killing at least five people.
The man went on the run after fleeing the scene following a chaotic shootout.
The suspect, who was 'lightly injured', was arrested in Marsta, a suburb north of Stockholm. Members of the public contacted police after he was seen acting strangely.
A police spokesman said: 'One person has been arrested who may be connected with the incident.'
The hijacked vehicle crashed into a packed shopping centre and burst into flames.
Three men jumped out from the lorry and opened fire before trying to stab pedestrians, witnesses said.
Two men were tackled to the ground and arrested - but a third suspect went on the loose - immediately making him Europe's most wanted man.
Police released CCTV of the man wearing a green jacket, white shoes and a grey hoodie. Police have confirmed the arrested suspect resembles the man in the photos they released earlier.
Stockholm's Central Station was shut down. The tube network was also closed amid fears the suspect was hiding underground but has now been cleared to open, according to Stockholm's public transport authority.
Officers said the vehicle crashed into a group of people on the street outside a shopping centre in Klarabergsgatan after racing down six streets at about 3pm local time.
Hundreds of shoppers were seen fleeing for their lives after the articulated lorry rammed into the corner of the building.
Horrifying images of the aftermath show blood smeared on the roads and bodies covered by blankets. Police say 15 people were injured.
Stockholm Police said they were questioning two people in relation to the attack, but said they were not currently suspected of criminal activity.
