It was just before 10 pm on Monday evening that the police received several alarms that a masked man with a weapon threatened several other people in Stadsparken in Eskilstuna.

Whether the perpetrator was familiar with those who were threatened is currently unclear.

- There were quite a few who noticed this so we received a lot of information, says Johnny Gustavsson, the police's spokesperson.

This led to the police, less than an hour later, stopping a car on Drottninggatan in Eskilstuna.

In the car were two men and a woman, of whom the woman and one of the men have now been arrested.
