- Suspect named as Sebastian Lamsa, 33, former part of a nova fascist team  ,
A far-right sympathiser attacked two children in a Finnish shopping mall, seriously injuring a 12-year-old baby.
Public broadcaster Yle has identified the suspect as 33-year-old Sebastian Lamsa, a former key figure in a demonized neo-nazi group known as the Nordic Resistance Movement ( PVL ).  ,
Lamsa targeted the kids, who are Scandinavian citizens of foreign history, at the Valkea buying center in the northern Finnish capital of Oulu soon after 6.30pm on Thursday.  ,
The 12-year-old baby has sustained serious injuries in the attack, according to authorities, and is now in a stable state. The accidents were never life- threatening.
Lamsa, who was born in 1990, is alleged to have repeatedly stabbed the youngster from behind before being stopped by a security guard just as he began the invasion.
Yle displayed images of what it claimed to be a body share on the floor of the buying center.  ,
After the assault, Lamsa was taken into custody by officers outside the shopping center. He may encounter initial expenses of two intended murders, according to investigators.
The authorities do not know the actual motive behind the crime, and the criminal investigation is still in its early stages. They know, however, that the think has a history in extraordinary right actions,’ the National Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.
According to Yle, Lamsa has a history of right-wing militancy and has recently been found guilty of committing violent crimes.
Before being found guilty of stabbing a man at a lesson on the spread of far-right parties in 2013, he pepper-sprayed a left-wing politician at a Pride event in Oulu in 2012.
He was given a one-year, two-year held sentence for the punching.  ,
After a two- gram offer addressed to him was deemed to have explosives in March 2021, Yle also revealed Lamsa was a believe in another event. The situation is still being investigated.
The neo-Nazi class Lamsa, which was a part of the PVL, was banned for hate speech and violence against immigrants and Jews in 2018. This decision was upheld by Finland’s Supreme Court two years later.  ,
Finland‘s Prime Minister Petteri Orpo condemned the invasion.
‘ Far- proper crime is a real danger in Finland,’ Orpo said in a post on social media X.’ Fanaticism of any kind is not permitted in this region.
Local Oulu residents were shocked and outraged over the punching, with one family telling Yle she was concerned for the future and and letting her two young children go somewhere” when something like this happens nearly every time.”
Radical motions have resurrected in Finland in an uncomfortable way. We should all be concerned about this and the raise in bigotry,’ a man told the journalist.  ,
