Law enforcement authorities have made progress in a pre-trial investigation into an assault that took place last weekend in Kulomäki, Vantaa.
The Eastern Uusimaa Police Department confirmed in a press release on Tuesday that a Pakistani man born in 1974 was assaulted to within an inch of his life in Kulomäki, Vantaa, sometime between late Saturday and early Sunday.
The victim sustained multiple injuries in the attack and remained in hospital care at the time the press release was issued. The investigators do not believe the assault was racially motivated.
