Västerlånggatan 38, 111 29 Stockholm, Sweden
In the middle of Saturday afternoon on May 31, 2003 a man in a dark Ford Focus drove at a high speed (about 100 km/h according to some of the witnesses) from Storkyrkobrinken onto Västerlånggatan. The pedestrian street was full of people who ran in panic, 16 people got injured, 2 killed. The madness journey ended when the car crashed into one of the shops. The driver later stated that it wasn’t his fault - the car was radio controlled by another man who followed him for quite some time and wanted to do him harm.
The driver was arrested, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and sentenced to closed forensic psychiatric care for murder and attempted murder.
