The case relates to a widely-reported incident in the summer of 2020 , when two young men boarded the Helsinki metro without valid tickets.

A ticket inspector discovered that the two did not have valid tickets and prepared to issue them with a fine.

When he asked one of them for their personal details, the young man ran away.

A security guard stopped him from escaping, and he was restrained on the ground and handcuffed.

The boy's mother later shared photos and videos of the incident on social media claiming that the ticket inspector and the security guard had assaulted him.

She also alleged that the decision to restrain her son was an act of racism.
