A man has died after he picked up a hand grenade outside a metro station in Stockholm.
The incident took place outside Varby Gard underground station in Huddinge, a southern district of the Swedish capital.
Witnesses say the device exploded as soon as the 60-year-old grabbed hold of it.
Paramedics took him to hospital, but he did not recover, and died earlier this afternoon.
A woman, 45, suffered serious facial injuries in the explosion and is currently receiving treatment.
