| 00:31 | | Police do not believe that the perpetrator who plowed into several people |
| 00:36 | | last night in downtown Borlänge had any terrorist motives. |
| 00:40 | | A 30-year-old is in custody on charges of one count of probable cause of attempted murder |
| 00:45 | | and four counts of attempted aggravated assault. |
| 00:48 | | According to Dalarna regional authorities, three persons are lightly wounded. |
| 00:52 | | The police received the call at 23:42. |
| 00:56 | | A taxi driver in service ran over an 18-year-old woman and wounded her, |
| 01:01 | | along with several other people in the middle of downtown Borlänge. |
| 01:05 | | The man was wrestled and pinned down by other pedestrians until the police arrived. |
| 01:10 | | According to the police, there were a lot of outraged people |
| 01:14 | | here in downtown Borlänge on Friday night. |
| 01:17 | | A taxi vehicle drove off this main street and turned toward the pedestrian street there, |
| 01:23 | | and ran over several pedestrians. To the witnesses it seemed |
| 01:28 | | that the driver was intentionally trying to run over the pedestrians. |
| 01:33 | | Three of them were wounded and were taken to hospital, |
| 01:37 | | but according to Dalarna regional authorities, all of them are lightly wounded. |
| 01:40 | | According to the police, an investigation is ongoing. |
| 01:44 | | However, they are still reticent about the motive. |
| 01:47 | | —What does he himself say about the suspicions? |
| 01:50 | | I won’t comment on that! We are working to discover a motive, |
| 01:54 | | of course, and the reason what it happened, |
| 01:57 | | or whether he is associated with the persons. —But currently you don’t suspect a terrorist offense? |
| 02:02 | | No. There is nothing at the moment to indicate that.
