Norwegian police have upgraded charges against two suspects following a violent incident in Trondheim. Two men aged 18 and 20 now face attempted murder charges.
Authorities initially charged the pair with aggravated assault. The Tuesday evening incident occurred in Heimdal, a suburban district of Trondheim.
Prosecutors successfully petitioned to keep both suspects in custody. A court ordered them held for four weeks due to evidence tampering concerns.
A man in his thirties suffered serious stab wounds during the altercation. Emergency services transported him to St. Olavs Hospital for treatment.
Police continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the violent episode. The upgraded charges reflect the severity of the injuries sustained.
This case highlights ongoing concerns about youth violence in Norwegian cities. The swift escalation from assault to attempted murder charges shows how quickly confrontations can turn life-threatening.
