Police break up school-end parties across Finland

Police intervened in several cities across Finland on Saturday night as end-of-school celebrations by thousands of young people led to disturbances, violence and confiscations of alcohol and weapons. In Helsinki, an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 teenagers gathered in Kaivopuisto park, where officers dispersed the crowd after a series of incidents, including fireworks set off among groups, beer cans thrown at police, and fights breaking out.
