According to Anna-Maria Soininvaara, the CEO of Oodi Central Library, this was the first act of violence in the library that opened in December 2018.

Soininvaara is speculating that the incident is related to a clash between the substance abusers in the vicinity of the Helsinki railway station, which is located next to the library.
