At least three people were injured, one seriously, in an “indiscriminate” stabbing in Norway, police say. “At this stage: three people injured and one person seriously injured,” wrote the police, in a tweet that may suggest that the toll could be heavier.
A few minutes later, the police clarified, also on Twitter, that they had “control over the alleged perpetrator” of the attack, without providing further details about the suspect or his motivations. According to witnesses quoted by the Norwegian media, numerous police patrols and ambulances, as well as three medical helicopters, were dispatched to the scene.
The assault happened in a valley called Numedal, in the village of Nore according to Norwegian media. This region is located north of Kongsberg, a town where a bow and knife attack killed five people last October. Its author, a Dane suffering according to experts from psychiatric disorders, has also been tried since Thursday in Norway.
