A police statement gave no further details on the injuries from the attack in the Nordic country's third largest city but said the situation was under control and there was no further threat to the public. "According to (our) current information, there is no reason to suspect that the act had a terrorist or racist motive," police said later in an update that gave no information on the arrested suspect. Public broadcaster YLE earlier reported that traffic in the centre of Tampere – located some 180 kilometres north of the capital Helsinki – was at a standstill. The daily Ilta-Sanomat reported that a witness saw bystanders giving first aid to two people lying on the ground at the time police arrived, and that, according to its information, the person arrested was a Finnish man in his twenties. In May, three pupils were injured in an attack at a school in southern Finland and a fellow student suspected of carrying out the assault was apprehended. Last year, a 12-year-old boy shot dead a fellow sixth-grader and severely injured two others at a school in the town of Vantaa. The boy said he had been a target of bullying and that this had motivated his attack. (Reuters)

Several people stabbed outside shopping centre in horror rush hour attack
"Blood is splattered on the ground for several meters and in one place, there is a lot of it." A reported mass stabbing outside a shopping centre left blood "splattered on the ground" as an investigation is launched. The horror incident occurred at the Ratina shopping centre in Tampere, Finland, at around 4.40pm local time on Thursday, July 3. Victims have since been given first aid, with one person arrested in connection. Emergency services are still on scene, with Ratina Square cordoned off by police and the centre's doors facing the square closed. At 5.10pm, it was announced those who witnessed the incident would be moved to its second floor, the Mirror reports. Local news outlet Ilta-Sanomat reported seeing a video and an image from the scene showing a lot of blood stains outside the building. It said: "Blood is splattered on the ground for several meters and in one place, there is a lot of it." The person who took the video told the outlet: "No one should see something like that." This is the second similar incident at Ratina shopping centre in the last year. In July 2024, one person was injured after being stabbed outside the building, which reportedly followed an argument between two people. Last June, a man was arrested on suspicion of two counts of attempted murder after a knife attack in the Finnish city of Oulu left a 12-year-old boy with serious injuries. The National Bureau of Investigation said at the time: "The stabbing rampage took place at a shopping centre in Oulu with authorities saying the man, in his 30s, had a background where he has been involved in far-right political activities. 'The criminal investigation is still at an early stage and the police do not know the exact motive for the act. They know, however, that the suspect has a background in extreme right activities."

The country's Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said on social media: "I condemn Oulu's brutal attack on children. Far-right violence is a real threat in Finland. "There is no room for extremism of any kind in this country. The government acts determinedly against extremism and violence." Finance Minister Riikka Purra commented: 'In the middle of the day, in the middle of the shopping center, the stabbing of a young person. I hope the victim survives.' She added in a separate post on X: 'Extremist movements, drugs, robberies, gangs - the problems are growing. "The deterioration of security must be taken seriously, the punishments must be increased and the indifference in the face of all kinds of violence must be stopped.'
