Minor conflicts must have then arisen, which, according to the security guard, must also have involved the friend dragging Simensen away with him.

Simensen himself believes that he did not behave threateningly towards the police. He points to the video, which shows him backing up with his hands in his pockets before the police officer puts him on the ground. – If it had been the case that they had said that I would be arrested, they could have just said that, says Simensen to news.

The watchman is also said to have said that he feared that the gang of friends would be out for revenge. Simensen was also a guest on Dagsnytt 18 on Friday evening.
