Knife Fight in Kaukovainio
Oulu suburb sees knife fight amongst gang.
There was fight between a gang of men in Kaukovainio in the early hours of 19th January. According to the police, some of those involved were armed with knives.
The fighting led to a 30 year old man from Muhos being stabbed in the stomach. The knife pierced his abdominal wall and he was rushed to hospital where he is still recovering. He is not yet well enough for the police to be able to interview him. At the same time two ‘young men from Oulu’ received knife injuries to the hands and feet.
The fighting took place amongst a group of about six men who all previously knew each other. It seems they had all spent the evening together and somehow got into a row. Police are currently attempting to find out precisely what happened, who did what and in what order the events progressed.
So far, four people have been arrested and three have already been released. The person who has been detained may be charged with attempted murder. Police are also looking at the part that drunkenness may have played in the events.
“drunkenness may have played in the events” – no kidding!
