Stockholm, Apr 8 (IBNS): The Swedish police have arrested two men in connection with the Stockholm terror attack, which killed at least four people after a stolen lorry barged into a supermarket on Friday, media reports said.

The first man was arrested after officials released an image of the suspect, BBC reported.

He has been nabbed on suspicion of committing a homicide.

The other suspect was arrested later.

The act was viewed as a 'terrorist attack' by Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven.

The incident also left 12 others injured.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday condemned the attack.

We condemn the attack in Stockholm. My thoughts are with the families of the deceased & prayers with those injured. @SwedishPM," Modi tweeted.

"India stands firmly with the people of Sweden in this hour of grief. @SwedishPM," he said.
