Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven called the incident an act of terrorism.

Initial reports indicated that a suspect was in custody, but authorities have since announced that the driver has not been found, and a manhunt is in place to find him.

Authorities said that three victims are dead and nine are injured. 

An image of the suspect has also been released and is being circulated.

“Sweden has been attacked. Everything indicates this is a terror attack,” he said.

Spendrups, the company that owns the truck used in the attack, said the vehicle had been hijacked earlier in the day as the driver was making deliveries.

Radio Sweden has reported that parts of the city center have been cordoned off and all trains and metros passing in and out of the city have been canceled. The parliament building is also currently on lockdown.
