The incident took place on Monday in a cafe at the Tampere city centre.
The thrower of the soft drink shouted at Stubb, calling him a “liar” and “cutter”.
The minister’s bodyguards quickly took away the man and handed him to the police.
Later it emerged that the beverage thrower is a Tampere-based activist opposed to the government’s austerity policy.
The man was a Suomen Kommunistinen Puolue (Communist Party of Finland) candidate in the last spring’s parliamentary elections and last year’s European elections.
The police are investigating the case as a petty criminal damage which is a complainant offence.
The police conduct investigations in such cases only if the victims decide to press charges.
