In Vaasa, Finland, police are probing a serious incident where two underage boys are suspected of stabbing a 40-year-old man during an altercation. The incident happened on Saturday evening on Huutoniementie, and the suspects are charged with attempted manslaughter and robbery. One of the boys is reportedly under 15 years old and both have since been released despite the severity of the allegations against them.
The stabbing incident unfolded after a dispute erupted between the victim and the boys on a bus. Following the argument, a fight broke out as they exited the bus, leading to one of the boys allegedly attacking the man with a knife. After the assault, they are believed to have robbed the victim before fleeing the scene. The police received an emergency call and were quick to respond, locating the suspects shortly after the incident.
The victim was transported urgently to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, but his current condition has stabilized.
