Swedish prosecutors said on April 24 that they arrested a man suspected to be involved in the truck attack that killed four people in central Stockholm. The Swedish Security Service said the arrest took place on Sunday.
This is the second person arrested in connection with the attack. Just hours after the incident occurred on April 7, 39-year-old Rakhmat Akilov confessed to driving the truck.
Prosecutors have until May 11 to formally charge him.
