Swedish police neutralized a man who claimed to be carrying explosive devices in a train station in Malmö, authorities say.
The suspect reportedly engaged officers at Malmö central station in a threatening and aggressive manner, shouting warnings that he had "bags of weapons and explosives - and threatened to blow up the building," according to Expressen.
Police were forced to open fire on the suspect after he refused to obey orders and attempted to flee, and he is now being held in hospital, where he is recovering with gunshot wounds to his legs.
The man is reportedly 44-years-old, spoke English with a "sharp accent," and holds passports from three countries.
