The man used the axe to break his way into the social services office in Skogås, according to Stockholm police. Staff initially locked themselves in a neighbouring room, but then managed to escape via the emergency exit.

The axeman was arrested at 11:15 am. By that time he had poured petrol over the floor of the building's reception.
