Police operation at a school in Tervakoski โ€“ young man arrested

A young man was arrested at a school in Tervakoski after threatening violence with a sharp object, although no physical harm was caused.

On Tuesday afternoon, police in Hรคmeen received an emergency call reporting a threat of violence at a school in Tervakoski, Janakkala. The alert was raised when a student entered the school holding a sharp object and threatened others, prompting a swift response from multiple police units. Fortunately, no one was physically harmed during the incident, as confirmed by police reports.

The situation was quickly brought under control, resulting in the arrest of the suspect, a minor under 15 years of age, who is being investigated for illegal threats. The police have not yet determined the motive behind the student's actions. In accordance with safety protocols, teachers guided students to their classrooms to ensure their safety while law enforcement addressed the situation.

Due to the age of the suspect, the case will not be forwarded to the prosecutor; instead, it will be handled by a multidisciplinary Anchor Team comprised of officials from police, healthcare, and social services. This team will work together to provide support and ensure proper handling of the incident involving the minor, highlighting the need for collaborative approaches in youth-related cases that involve potential violence.
