One man has died and four more have been injured in a shooting at an internet cafe in the Swedish city of Malmo.

Local media reports a man reportedly fired an automatic weapon at a crowd celebrating Sweden's 1-0 victory over South Korea in today's World Cup match.

Police gave no motive for the shooting, which happened in the Drottninggatan area, near the local police station which meant officers were on the scene immediately.

In a statement, police said an 18-year-old man died in hospital and his relatives have been informed.

The force said the incident was not terrorism related and said there is no cause for public alarm.
