Parts of Öresundsgatan have been blocked off since 14.30 and the police are sorry about what happened at the scene.

- It is an ongoing effort that involves a person who is threatening in an apartment. We have to take care of the person or ward off the situation, says Katarina Rusin, the police spokesperson.

She does not want to say whether the person directed the threat to someone else or if there are additional people inside the same apartment.

- I do not want to go into the details of the effort. As long as you respect the barriers, there is no danger to the public, says Katarina Rusin.
