The 39-year-old father-of-four was arrested in the northern suburb of Marsta after going on the run following the attack, reported Swedish newspaper Aftonblat. The man, believed to be from Uzbekistan, was wearing a balaclava, with broken glass on his clothes. He reportedly confessed to being involved in the atrocity. He had posted Isis propaganda on Facebook and liked pictures of casualties after the terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon in 2013, Aftonblat reported.

Three men jumped out from inside the lorry and opened fire before trying to stab pedestrians, witnesses said.
Two men were tackled to the ground and arrested. Police questioned them but said they were not suspected of any crime.
Police released CCTV of the man who bravely ran away, who was wearing a green jacket, white shoes and a grey hoodie. Officers said the first suspect arrested on Friday evening in Marsta resembled the man in the appeal photos.
Following the lorry crash, armed turbans were seen running into Stockholm's Central railway station and opening fire. Two people were also said to have been stabbed.
Spendrups Brewery said the truck belonged to its company and was stolen. The vehicle's original driver, who has not been named, was hurt in the hijacking after trying to cling to the vehicle.
Stockholmers appeared to be following police advice to stay indoors and avoid crowded areas, with a number of normally-bustling city streets deserted.
Security was also beefed up across European cities in the wake of the attack. In Norway, one of the few European countries where police are not routinely armed, officials announced that officers in major urban areas would now carry firearms. In a tweet, Norwegian Police said officers in its largest cities and at Oslo’s airport would be carrying weapons until further notice. In Finland, police increased patrols in the capital Helsinki.
