A person was hospitalized with unknown injuries after being stabbed on a bus in Sandnes. Police arrested one suspect following the incident.
Officers received reports of a stabbing on a bus at Ruten in Sandnes at 12:38 AM Thursday. The victim received treatment at Stavanger University Hospital for unknown injuries, according to police statements around 2 AM.
Sandnes is a city in southwestern Norway with about 80,000 residents. The Ruten area serves as a major transportation hub connecting local bus routes.
Violent incidents on public transport remain relatively rare in Norway compared to many other countries. This attack during late-night hours raises questions about security on buses when fewer passengers are present.
What measures might prevent similar incidents in the future? Local authorities will likely review safety protocols following this serious assault.
