A stabbing incident occurred outside a shopping center in Tampere, a city in southern Finland, resulting in injuries to four individuals.
Authorities have confirmed the apprehension of a suspect connected to the stabbings.
Fortunately, no fatalities were reported, and law enforcement has assured the public that there is no ongoing threat.
While specific details about the suspect have not been officially released by the police, Finnish news sources indicate that a male individual has been taken into custody.
Finnish public broadcaster Yle reported that workers were observed using pressure washers to remove bloodstains from the area outside the shopping center.
Initially, police implemented a lockdown, restricting entry and exit from the Ratina shopping centre. However, the lockdown was lifted by early evening, and police have since departed from the scene.
Tampere, situated approximately 100 miles north of Helsinki, is widely recognized as the world’s sauna capital.
