On Monday evening around 10 PM, a dramatic situation occurred in Myllypuro, Helsinki, involving an altercation between two individuals. One person reportedly threatened another with an object that looked like a firearm on Yläkiventie. The unfolding scene was captured on video by a reader of Iltalehti and showcases the tense atmosphere as police arrived on site to handle the incident.

According to Crime Commissioner Ville Niskanen from the Helsinki police, one individual has been taken into custody in connection with the case. Initial reports suggest that tensions escalated after one of the individuals attempted to enter a vehicle parked in the area, which led to a confrontation with the car's owner. The suspect's threatening behavior, involving the imitation firearm, raised alarms among the public and necessitated a police response to ensure safety.

While the object was not a real firearm, it bore a close resemblance to one, causing concern among witnesses. Preliminary charges contemplated include robbery and possession of an item suitable for causing serious injury. Niskanen emphasized that the information is still in its early stages due to the freshness of the incident, and investigations are ongoing to clarify the events and determine appropriate legal actions.
