    The 23-year-old Finnish man suspected of a stabbing attack near a shopping centre this week, which injured four people, has told police he chose his victims randomly and believed he was being stalked.

    Police confirmed Friday that the suspect admitted to the Thursday violence, stating he didn’t know the victims and had no specific reason for targeting them.

    Authorities found no evidence to suggest terrorism or racist motives, but noted the suspect has a history of violent crime.

    Detective Chief Inspector Sakari Tuominen reported the suspect told investigators that “all humans are enemies” and “everyone is stalking him.”

    He also claimed “people get what they ask for” and that “he wanted to end his suffering with this act,” with the motive still being clarified through ongoing interviews.

    Police were alerted to the stabbing at 4:23 PM (1323 GMT) on Thursday. The victims sustained “severe injuries” requiring hospital care, though none are life-threatening.

    The suspect, found with a knife, was arrested at the scene without resistance. Police are investigating four counts of alleged attempted murder.

    Tuominen confirmed the suspect’s criminal record includes a 2023 stabbing and three counts of aggravated robbery involving a knife in 2020.

    Finnish media also reported that police believe the attack may have been long-planned. The suspect is scheduled for a court hearing on Monday for remand in custody.
