Photo: Kari Sørbø / news – We take this type of planned, serious violence seriously, regardless of who it affects and the motive behind the violence. It is an important principle that it is the police and the prosecution that investigate offences, says Huseby. The man in his 40s, who is also the victim in the case, is charged under section 306 of the Criminal Code. The investigation continues The police write that they are now working on, among other things, questioning those involved. In addition to witnesses. They also work to secure digital traces. A video news has seen shows that the man is beaten and kicked while he is lying down, and that he is bleeding profusely. – We strongly distance ourselves from sharing videos of violence, such sharing is also punishable, says Huseby. The police themselves say that there is not a large scale of such cases in Trøndelag, but that they are nevertheless concerned that it could spread. They therefore ask parents to be vigilant. – Very young children can be exposed to the trend through social media and in the worst case become involved in something that can have major, negative consequences.
