A man reportedly armed with a knife has threatened passers-by on the streets of the Norwegian capital, Oslo, before being shot dead by police
COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- A man reportedly armed with a knife threatened passers-by on the streets of the Norwegian capital, Oslo, on Tuesday, before being shot dead by police, officials said.
Norwegian media published footage of the alleged attacker, naked from the waist up and wielding a knife. Police initially suggested that passers-by had been wounded, but later said that only one police officer was slightly hurt.
“We have so far no information that this is terror-related," Senior Police Chief Egil Joergen Brekke told a news conference.
Police said a patrol car in the Bislett neighborhood of northern Oslo drove into a building to halt the man's progress. He then attacked the vehicle and managed to open the car door, police spokesman Torgeir Brenden said.
