A 65-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of endangering the public after an explosion in Malmö on Sunday morning.
Bomb experts were called to the scene of the incident, TT reports.
The explosion occurred in a residential building in the Lindängen area of the city at 6am on Sunday.
Police are treating the offence as dangerous to the public and the 65-year-old, who was in the apartment at the time, has been arrested on suspicion of the crime.
“He is at the police station. He is being held in custody and will be interrogated,” Region Syd (South) Police press spokesperson Stephan Söderholm said.
