Four people were stabbed near a shopping centre in Tampere, Finland's third-largest city, on Thursday and one person has been arrested, the police said. Police said in a later statement that the stabbings had not resulted in any fatalities.

Finnish police say a stabbing attack that wounded four people outside a mall in Finland isn't believed to be a terror or racist attack.

A 23-year-old man is in custody after randomly stabbing four people in central Tampere. The victims sustained serious injuries but survived. Police say the attack was unprovoked and not motivated by ideology.
