The police responded to a serious incident of violence in the center of Halden late on Thursday evening. One person had injuries to the upper body, the police reported on Twitter/X. This person was described as seriously injured.
The police informed NRK that it was allegedly a stab wound. The person was transported to Ullevål hospital by helicopter.

According to the police, there were two people involved in the incident. They were looking for a named person in the cityscape and at a number of addresses that could be relevant. All involved must be in their 40s.
– We are still carrying out forensic investigations at the site and tactical investigation with questioning and further intelligence will continue throughout the night, says Hatlen.
The police do not know anything about the cause of the incident, or what relationship they have.
– The medical examination must reveal what the weapon was, but we have reason to believe that the perpetrator used a knife to inflict serious stab wounds on the upper body, continues Hatlen.
– Could there be more arrests?
– We cannot rule it out. We are not one hundred percent sure who the perpetrator is. We continue to work at full capacity throughout the night to bring forward the actual conditions, and as clear a picture as possible of what has happened, says Hatlen
