The police in Helsinki have apprehended a man suspected of attempting to murder another man during a stabbing incident that took place in Pihlajanmäki. The police received an emergency call about the situation at 12:30 AM on Wednesday from the victim, who had been stabbed and required medical attention. Upon arrival, officers confirmed that the victim was transported to the hospital for treatment.

According to police reports, the attack occurred in a public area, specifically in a courtyard, and both the victim and the suspect are male. It has been disclosed by Commissioner Esa Pennanen that the two individuals likely knew each other, which suggests that the incident might stem from a personal conflict rather than a random act of violence. Fortunately, it was noted that there were no threats to bystanders during the incident.

Investigations into the stabbing continued through Wednesday night, with police conducting inquiries at the scene to gather more information and evidence. This incident contributes to concerns over safety in urban areas, with law enforcement focusing on both resolving this case and preventing similar occurrences in the future.
