At least four people were injured today, one of them seriously, in a "blind" knife attack in Numental, southeastern Norway, Norwegian police said, noting that the suspect "has been brought under control".
"I can confirm that we have brought the suspect
under control" for the attack, a police spokesman told Reuters.
Earlier, local police had announced in a message on Twitter that a suspect had been arrested, without elaborating on the motive for the attack, and in an earlier message on the same social media outlet described the condition of one of the wounded as critical.
According to eyewitnesses quoted by Norwegian media, several police patrol cars and ambulances, as well as three helicopters with medical equipment, had rushed to the scene of the incident.
This attack took place in the Numental valley, in the village of Norre, according to Norwegian media quoted by AFP.
This area is in the northern part of Kongsberg, a town where five people had died in October in a bow and arrow attack.
The trial of the suspect in the attack, a Danish man who experts say suffered from psychiatric problems, began yesterday, Thursday, in Norway.
