No personal injuries have been reported in connection with the explosion outside the restaurant, but there has been damage to a windowpane and an outdoor seating area.
A second suspicious object was found shortly after the explosion on the restaurant's outdoor seating area, which was neutralized at 04:30 by the national bomb squad.
Investigating connections
The alarm about the initial explosion came in at 02:38, simultaneously with the national bomb squad neutralizing two suspicious and dangerous objects in the Rosengård district.
Findings from the sites suggest that our assessment is that they are hand grenades in all cases. That assessment may change. We are looking into a connection. Right now, it's too early to say anything about it, says Åberg.
An 18-year-old man was arrested during the night and is suspected of attempted murder in connection with the incident in Rosengård. He is also suspected of gross crime against the law on flammable and explosive goods and has been detained.
The public sounded the alarm
According to prosecutor Adrien Combier-Hogg, it was members of the public who alerted the police.
In brief, it's a person from the public who says there's some kind of suspicious object. When the police arrive, they point out the person who left the object.
Combier-Hogg does not want to comment on the 18-year-old's stance on the crime suspicions at present.
An investigation into public endangerment and gross crime against the law on flammable and explosive goods has been initiated regarding the explosion outside the restaurant. No one has been arrested in the case.
