The situation is being investigated,” police said in a statement.

Rescue services are conducting a technical investigation in the area. Many of the injured were taken to Helsinki University Hospital. "The injuries are mostly extremity fractures,” the hospital said in a statement, adding that the injured belonged to a school group.
