The stabbing suspect had apparently been denied asylum, but it is not clear if this was the motive behind his attack that left two dead and eight wounded.
Local media report that eight people were hospitalised following the attack. Finnish police said one suspect was shot in the leg and advised people to avoid the centre of the city.
Around 15,000 people marched in central Helsinki to protest against racism and violent right-wing extremism days after a man was killed in an alleged neo-Nazi attack.
