    Jan Evensson from the Stockholm police told a news conference late Friday the man was arrested in Marsta, a northern Stockholm suburb close to the city’s international airport, Arlanda. He says the man was “in the vicinity” of the truck crash that killed four people and wounded 15 others on a pedestrian street in the Swedish capital.

    He says the suspect was spotted by a police patrol and was in a police photo released earlier Friday wearing a greenish hood at the top of an escalator.

    Stefan Hector of the Sweden’s national police says “we have a working hypothesis this is an act of terror.”

    Evensson urged people not to go into central Stockholm for the time being.

    Can’t think of nicer people for whom it should happen..
    Except for maybe the French. Or possibly the Germans. Could be the Brits. Potentially even Poles, Hungarians, Ukrainians or, or…..
    Hmmmm, they’re all just as nice as each other….
