Two people are hospitalized with stab wounds following a violent confrontation in central Oslo. Police have arrested three individuals connected to the early Sunday morning incident at Vaterlandsparken.
Officers responded to reports of a person with stab injuries at the park. They confirmed a physical altercation had occurred beforehand.
One man sustained potentially serious injuries, according to police statements. Authorities transported him to a medical facility for treatment.
By 5:30 AM, police had secured three individuals at the scene. Two of them had injuries consistent with sharp object attacks. Investigators haven't located any weapons yet.
Before 8 AM, officers made additional arrests of people believed connected to the event. Operations leader Gabriel Langfeldt wrote in the police log that they control two injured parties at hospitals and three arrested individuals transported to custody.
Police suspect several involved persons fled before their arrival. The sequence of events remains unclear, but investigators are conducting broad inquiries.
All involved individuals are reportedly men in their twenties. Vaterlandsparken sits in Oslo's central Grønland district, an area known for nightlife that occasionally sees late-night conflicts.
This incident highlights ongoing challenges with public safety in urban nightlife districts. The rapid police response prevented further escalation, but the weapon's disappearance raises concerns about future risks.
