Several hurt as car ploughs into crowd in Finland

 

 

When a vehicle ploughs into pedestrians in today’s Europe, fears of a terror attack are inevitable.

The driver, in his 30s, was being questioned by police who believe he may have suffered a medical emergency.

Like other European capitals, Helsinki is taking security seriously amid fears for New Year celebrations.
