Irish-Swedish witness recalls Stockholm street ‘terror’

An Irish-Swedish woman who witnessed yesterday’s suspected terrorist attack in Stockholm has recalled her fear when she heard the impact of a truck hitting a high street store.

Emma Salomonsson, 27, was shopping in the H&M clothing shop next to the store hit by a truck on the pedestrianised Drottninggatan in central Stockholm, shortly before 1pm Irish time yesterday.

At least four people were killed in the incident, which Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said bore the hallmarks of a terror attack.
