A cleaner stole an empty commuter train near Stockholm and crashed it into a house, injuring herself, Swedish police said.

The woman drove the four-carriage train out of a depot and along the track for about a mile. It then derailed and crashed into a three-storey building.

No one other than the cleaner was injured. Her motive is unknown.
