At first, the police reported that they were searching for a suspect who ran from the scene, but after taking testimony from witnesses, they said there could be two suspects.

The police were notified of the incident at 19.26. A man under the age of 20 was stabbed several times in his upper body while the 31-bus was driving somewhere between Carl Berner’s street and Sinsen. The man is hospitalized at Ullevål Hospital with serious injuries.

Shift Lead, Hanne Nordve, announced to NRK that the police are searching for the suspect in a particular environment and that they know who they are looking for. Both of those two are young men under the age of 20.
