On 7 January 2018, an explosion just outside the station killed a man in his 60s and injured his wife. The man is believed to have picked up a suspected hand grenade from the ground. There was no evidence it was related to terrorism or that the couple were targeted.{{Cite web|url=https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/901254/stockholm-subway-explosion-man-seriously-injured|title = Stockholm metro station explosion: One dead and another injured in Sweden capital blast|date = 7 January 2018}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.dw.com/en/mystery-blast-kills-one-in-stockholm-not-terror-related/a-42056760|title = Mystery blast kills one in Stockholm, 'not terror-related' | DW | 07.01.2018}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-42597802|title=Stockholm station blast: Man dies in hand grenade explosion|work=BBC News|date=7 January 2018}}
