The electrocution of a fat rat in an electric station caused a three-hour power outage in Stockholm's central train station.
The outage caused some rail delays, since the rat's 11,000 voltage blow-out led to a blackout in the station and halted lifts and escalators, Jesper Ekenlund, a spokesman for power company Fortum said.
"The rat had sneaked into a secondary substation and came into contact with some parts that caused it to short circuit," he said.
"It must have been really big because there's a certain distance between the parts it touched. The blow was so forceful that it (the rat) actually burst."
