A 13-year-old boy has been taken into child protective services following a grenade explosion at Bislett in Oslo. Police confirmed the youth was one of several individuals apprehended after the incident. Two boys under the criminal age of responsibility were also involved in the event. The explosion occurred on September 23 in the Bislett neighborhood of central Oslo. Police attorney Henrik Rådal from Oslo Police District provided these details in a statement.

Authorities must balance child welfare concerns with public safety demands when minors commit serious offenses.
