Helsinki, Rabi'II 20, 1439, Jan 7, 2018, SPA -- A man and a woman were injured near a Stockholm subway station Sunday after the man picked up an unidentified object from the ground that detonated in his hand, Swedish police said. The incident took place just outside the Varby Gard subway station in Huddinge - a residential district that is part of greater Stockholm - about 11 a.m., AP quoted Stockholm region police spokesman Sven-Erik Olsson as saying. "The man was seriously injured after he picked up something from the ground and this device exploded," Olsson said, adding that experts were examining the object. The man, in his 60s, was rushed to hospital with serious injuries while the woman, in her mid-40s, received "minor wounds" to face and both legs, Olsson said. Olsson said police were scanning and sweeping through the area the subway station to make sure no additional explosive devices were around. --SPA 21:05 LOCAL TIME 18:05 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w582497
