The assaults have occurred in the area of Grønland, Tøyen and Kampen during the past week. The police write this in a press release. The Oslo police district is now investigating two of the incidents as attempted rape, and one incident as a sexual act without consent. The incidents happened suddenly and unexpectedly for the victims, who are women in their 20s and early 30s respectively. – The police cannot rule out that it could be the same perpetrator, this is one of the hypotheses we are working on. So far this year, there have been very few similar cases in Oslo, but these are cases that create fear and uncertainty and we take these incidents very seriously, says section leader Ann Kristin Grosberghaugen. Tips wanted The police currently have vague descriptions of the perpetrator’s appearance, age and clothing in the three cases. All the cases describe a man with dark skin, somewhere between 20 and 40 years old. In one of the cases, it was established that the man spoke Norwegian. The police are now working on carrying out interviews, reviewing video material and other information. In addition, the police have informed about these matters internally so that our patrols can be extra vigilant in these areas.
