Gloppen is a municipality in Vestland county with around 5,800 inhabitants. Now stabbings have come to the area formerly known as Sogn og Fjordane.

A man has been arrested after a stabbing in Sandane, home to around 2,000 people. This is reported by NRK.

– When the police arrived at the scene, the victim was already being cared for by the health services. He was eventually taken to Førde Hospital by ambulance. The victim was awake and conscious,” writes Ingrid Teigland Tepstad, head of operations in the Western Police District, in a press release on Saturday morning.

– One person has currently been arrested for the incident. It is currently unknown whether there is a relationship between the men, Tepstad continues.

Neither the victim nor the person arrested has previously been in the police spotlight.

“For the sake of the investigation, I don’t want to disclose any of the information that has emerged during questioning,” says Roset.

The stabbing is said to have taken place at a social gathering late on Friday evening.
