A week in custody after assaulting a teenager with an ax – news Vestland

A man in his 30s has now been remanded in custody for a week after the incident in Hjellestad in Bergen. It was at 11pm on Friday evening that a group of teenagers went on a rampage of the “ring the door and run” type at his home. This means that you ring the doorbell and run off before someone has time to open the door. As a consequence of this, the serious violent incident occurred. – The man allegedly attacked the one youth with an axe, says police attorney Ingeborg Drægebø. Armed police arrested the man later that evening. On Sunday, he was produced for remand, charged with grievous bodily harm. Police attorney Ingeborg Drægebø.
