The arrested man is charged with grievous bodily harm. Operations manager Frode Vang in the Agder police district tells NTB that they only have information about one injured person. – We have no information that his life is in danger as of now. But we have to investigate it more closely with the hospital, and that will be part of the investigation throughout the day, says Police Attorney Endre Olderskog Waldal to news. He says that the police are taking the incident seriously. On Saturday morning, the police told news that the information they have indicates that some form of stabbing weapon must have been used. Supposed to have gotten into an argument The police received a report about the incident in Markens gate in the city center at 11.40pm on Saturday evening, when a security guard called. – What we know as of now is that there are two people who have ended up in some form of confrontation or argument, and that as a result things have deteriorated and ended with one person being sent to hospital, says Waldal. About an hour later, a person was arrested who the police believe can be linked to the incident.

And secure traces and, of course, investigate the health situation of the victim, says Waldal. Published 24.11.2024, at 08.37 Updated 24.11.2024, at 09.02
