– The person who called us had met this person within the apartment complex. He must have been aggressive and threatening, says Lars Hyberg, operations manager at the Agder police district.
The police received the report at 1:21 p.m. They left the block armed with several patrols.
Shortly before 2.30 pm, Hyberg informs NRK that the person who threatened with a knife has been arrested.
– The alleged perpetrator was arrested without drama and taken to the police station. He will eventually be questioned when we get a little more overview of the course of events, says Hyberg.
No one should be hurt.
Question witnesses
The police asked the residents of the block to leave their apartments while they searched for the person with the knife.
There are three police cars and an ambulance at the scene.
Hyberg claims they are now working tactically on the site.
Police are conducting investigations on a balcony at the top of the block, which has 11 floors.

– We question witnesses who have been in the building and can provide us with information. Then we can gather the threads and see if we can form a general picture, says Hyberg.
Do you have information that other people may have been harmed by the person?
– No, no one appears to be injured at the scene right now, says Hyberg.
It emphasizes that there is no cover to say that someone has been directly threatened by the person.
In informing us, he perceived it as a threat, but not directly against himself. Then we may have to reconsider whether others have perceived themselves as threatened by the person.
The police moved armed to the center of Kristiansand after receiving a message that a person was behaving in a threatening way with a knife on a block.
