Armed man barricaded himself in his own home – VG

A man has barricaded himself in his own home, armed, in Vinterbro, the East police wrote on Twitter at 21.49.

Police write that they do not have the ability to respond to media inquiries.

– The police have control over the situation. There is no danger to neighbors or others, but the public is being asked to stay away, as police have not finished their investigations on the spot, police write on Twitter shortly after midnight.

– The man was arrested shortly before midnight. Now it will be supervised by a doctor, then we’ll see what happens next, Operations Manager Trond Lorentzen in the Eastern Police District tells NTB at 1 o’clock Saturday night.

Police cordoned off a large area around Tusenfryd and Fålesloråsen.

– He walked around the area. Then the situation got worse after we made contact. The man was alone and no one was injured. We are now conducting final investigations on the ground, Lorentzen says.

The Oslo police assisted with resources in the operation, the operations director told VG.

– They tell us to stay away, said a neighbor with whom VG spoke.

Two witnesses tell VG that the man must have arrived at a neighbor’s door. He must have tried to get into the house, without success. According to witnesses, those who stayed in the house called the police and told them to lock themselves in the bathroom, where there is only a small window, and to remain there until the police arrive.

The man is then said to have returned to his own home where he took refuge. VG has been unable to obtain a comment from the police on the course of events on Friday night.
