The incident is said to have occurred at 3pm on Wednesday last week, on a hiking trail in Fyllingsdalen.
It is said that a man dragged a girl of primary school age into the forest and tried to undress her. The girl ran away and ran from the place. The girl went alone, having been at an event in the church in Sælen.
– I cannot get into the action itself, but it is a relationship that we define as very serious. We have many resources on the case, says Police Inspector Tore Salvesen.
The case is being investigated as an assault.
– I never heard anything like it
– I think it’s a bit scary when I have children who go here both to train and to school. It’s not the best you hear when you have young children, says Silje Wallmann. He goes out for a walk with his daughter Ariel Wallmann (5).
She says that there are many children walking along the forest path.
– I will probably talk to my children and tell them they should go with others and to be careful when they leave, says Wallmann.
Among those who have been in contact with the police is an anonymous resident in the area that NRK spoke to.
– We have lived here for 30 years and we have never heard anything like it. I did not go here at the time, but will consult with other people who live in the area, says the resident.
