Stockholm truck attack: Swedish police make second arrest in probe

Swedish police have arrested a second person in relation to the deadly truck attack in the capital and a court has appointed the person a legal representative, a court official said on Sunday. 

"Police have arrested a person and we have appointed a public defender," Helga Hullmann, judge at the Stockholm District Court said.

She said lawyer Johan Akerman was the legal council appointed.

Police arrested a 39-year-old Uzbek man on Saturday on suspicion he was the driver of the truck that killed seven people and injured a further 15. The man had been known to Swedish security services but had no clear links to militant groups.

Swedish police have also brought in seven people for questioning over the attack.
