Four people were stabbed near a shopping centre in Finland, police have said.
One person was arrested following the incident, which took place near the Ratina shopping centre in the city of Tampere, known as the sauna capital of the world.
The stabbings had not resulted in any deaths, police said, while cordons previously in place have been removed and officers have left the scene.
Police initially blocked all doors of the Ratina shopping centre and people were not allowed to enter or leave.
“The situation no longer poses a danger to outsiders,” a spokesperson for the local police force said in an earlier statement.
Police later said there were no indications of a terrorist or racist motive in the incident.
Tampere, Finland’s third-largest city, lies in the south of the country, around 112 miles northwest from capital Helsinki.
