Trondheim police said that there were two women and three men aged between 20 and 40-years-old involved in a mass stabbing in the city on Saturday. Four people, including the alleged attacker, were injured during the knife altercation.
Police attorney Silje Flack Bergby told public broadcaster NRK that two of the four stabbing were injured seriously, however, they are no longer in life threatening condition.
“We have control over all those involved. There is currently one accused in the case. We will assess the others’ role continuously. It is a bit unclear the sequence of events now,” Flack Bergby said.
