Two people have been arrested following the incident, police have confirmed.

An alarm was raised at around 4am on Saturday, with a car reported to have sped from the location where the man was found.

“The man was found in an apartment in Sätra, but it is too early to say whether he was shot there,” police spokesperson Per Fahlström told TT.

How much did Stockholm actually make off Taylor Swift’s concerts?

She came, she saw, she conquered – and left the Swedish capital with extra dough in its coffers.

How much did Stockholm actually make off Taylor Swift's concerts?

Swift’s three gigs in Stockholm in May gave the capital’s economy a boost, reports broadcaster TV4.

Her visit generated 848 million kronor (roughly $81 million) in tourism revenue, according to analysts Upplevelseinstitutet on behalf of Stockholm City Council, resulting in an extra 431 million kronor in tax revenue.

A total of 131,000 tourists descended on Stockholm for Swift’s concerts, and spent their money on hotel rooms, restaurant visits and entertainment.

“The figures are very positive for Stockholm, for the tourism industry, for our restaurants, hotels, shopping. Having Taylor Swift’s three concerts in Stockholm means a lot,” said Stockholm mayor Karin Wanngård.
