In Vaasa, a 40-year-old man was stabbed during a dispute that escalated onboard a bus and continued outside, resulting in life-threatening injuries.

In connection with the incident, two minor boys fitting the description of the attackers were apprehended by the police shortly afterward.
Police investigations revealed that the altercation began on the bus between the man and the two minors.
