Police have cordoned off an area around University Circle in Örebro, Sweden, after reports of a serious violent crime. No injuries have been reported in the incident. Authorities have not made any arrests yet.
The security perimeter was established during the evening after a private citizen alerted police. Multiple patrol units are working at the scene, and police dogs are assisting in the search operation.
Lars Hedelin, press spokesperson for the Bergslagen police region, said officers are currently improving their situational awareness to understand what occurred. He confirmed no one was injured but acknowledged police are investigating a violent crime.
Hedelin emphasized there is no danger to the public but urged curious onlookers to stay away from the area. He noted there could be risk to the investigation if people walk around and destroy potential evidence.
Police have not released additional information about what happened or the exact size of the cordoned area. The University Circle is a major traffic hub in central Örebro, a city of approximately 120,000 residents in central Sweden.
While Swedish police typically maintain tight control over information during active investigations, the immediate confirmation that no one was injured suggests this incident may involve property damage or threats rather than physical assault. The use of police dogs indicates authorities are searching for specific evidence or suspects in the area.
