Several people have been stabbed in an attack in the Finnish city of Turku, police have said.
Members of the public have been warned to stay away from the city centre as they reinforced security around the country.
Police said they arrested one person after a shootout and had launched a manhunt for other possible attackers.
The Turun Sanomat newspaper reported that at least one person was killed in the attack and that police were inspecting departing trains and buses.
MTV3 television reported that police have raised security at Helsinki airport and at train stations.
An eyewitness saw four or five ambulances near the city’s main square, the paper said.
“The government is closely following the events in Turku andthe ongoing police operation. The government will meet later today,” Prime Minister Juha Sipila wrote on his Twitter account.
