Just over 11 pm on Saturday night, the subway had to stop between Blindern and Majorstua, near the Police Academy, due to a triggered fire extinguisher.
“Many young people have also been on the trail. It is possible that fireworks were fired on board the course. The power has now been taken on the stretch, and the emergency services are working on the spot “, the police in Oslo write on Twitter.
– We have not received any notification that there are injuries at the moment, says operations manager Marita Aune to Dagbladet.
– Committed damage
Aune says at 23.25 that the police received the message at 22.40.
– We received the message from the subway itself, that damage had been done. The patrols that arrived began to investigate, and information emerged that fireworks might also have been used, she says.
In an update at 23.44, the police in Oslo write that they have investigated both in and by the subway.
«No personal injury. The vehicle set can continue to drive and we create a case for damage. The emergency services are leaving the place “, the police write on Twitter.

– Relatively large delays
Ina Helen Østby, press officer at Sporveien, confirms to Dagbladet that there has been an incident on the subway today, near Majorstuen subway station.
– It was Sporveien who contacted the police for assistance. We also had a stay in traffic. It is now up and running again. All lines run as normal, but there are relatively large delays and operational disruptions, unfortunately, she says.
Østby has no further knowledge of the course of events or why the fire extinguisher was triggered.
– Sporveien is responsible for the safety associated with the metro operation. This means that when incidents related to our operations occur, it is continuously assessed whether to report them. I am not aware that any decision has been made so far. This is something that will be considered.

Reporting the incident
Over midnight, operations manager Christian Krohn Engeseth confirms that the police have created a report of damage in the case.
– The fire extinguisher was triggered due to damage. There has been no indication of a fire at the site, he tells Dagbladet.
Engeseth says that the police have ensured video surveillance from inside the car and that this will be reviewed.
– Many young people were observed running from the place when we arrived. We have no suspects in the case, but have initiated questioning of witnesses and collection of material from the subway, he says.
– Dagbladet has been sent photos and videos from the place that show several young people on the track. What do the police think about this?
– Staying in the subway track is associated with danger due to electricity, and we quickly asked for assistance from the fire service to cut the electricity on the stretch. This is absolutely no place anyone should be.
