The police received a report at 1.40pm about a car accident at Lundeslettene, says Tom Einar Gausdal in the Agder police district. – And while we sent resources to the scene, several calls came from the same area from motorists who had ended up in a queue after the accident. They said a man tried to break into cars at the scene. Gausdal says the police took it as if he was trying to steal cars in order to flee the scene. The cars involved in the accident on the E18 were collected by car salvagers on Sunday afternoon.

Former news employee Leif Solberg was on his way home from Oslo when he saw someone running around and waving their arms at the scene of the accident. He got to see the man before he was taken by the police. – He didn’t seem safe. Afterwards I spoke to one of the motorists from whom the man had tried to take the car. She had told him that there was no question of giving up the car with her dogs in it, and somehow she managed to stop him. Leiv Solberg witnessed the man who tried to threaten cars.

First we see a man trying to get into the car in front of us, and then he runs towards us and jumps onto the bonnet, which gets a dent, says the witness. The man was perceived as angry and intoxicated. – That you should experience that people are out driving when you shouldn’t be driving in broad daylight is bad, says Solberg. At 15.15 the police announced that the man had been arrested and charged with threats. There are clear footprints of the man who jumped onto the hood of the eyewitness.

He is at the hospital in Arendal on Sunday evening to take routine blood tests. Traffic was at a standstill for a while after the accident, which happened at around 1.30pm on Sunday.
