The assailant was taken to hospital after being shot in the leg by police when he was taken into custody, following the attack in the southern Swedish city in mid-afternoon.
Police originally treated the incident as "attempted murder" but later changed it, in a statement, to a "suspected terrorist crime."
Swedish intelligence services consider the terrorist threat in the country to be high.
In April 2017, a rejected and radicalized Uzbek asylum seeker mowed down pedestrians in Stockholm with a stolen truck, killing five people. He was sentenced to life in jail in June 2018.
