In Helsinki, a security guard from Securitas used pepper spray on a man's face during a detainment operation on June 26. According to eyewitness accounts provided to Yle, the man was running away from the guards near Metsätalo. One guard reportedly shouted insults at the man, calling him derogatory names. The incident has triggered an internal investigation by Securitas into the use of pepper spray. Securitas' CEO Jarmo Mikkonen stated that there were grounds for detaining the man and that he was handed over to police. A training expert noted that security personnel are taught not to use pepper spray within one meter of someone's face to avoid eye injuries.
