The condition is serious for several young people who have been poisoned with carbon monoxide at a party in the district of St. Hanshaugen.
– What we can confirm now is that 24 patients have arrived at the hospital after this party, says Anders Bayer, spokesman for the Oslo University Hospital, in chef 7.
The condition is critical for five of them, writes the VG newspaper.
– Seven youths were found unconscious by a patrol at 03.46 after a party in a bunker, operations manager André Kråkenes in the Oslo police district told the NTB news agency early in the morning.
According to the police, the youths illegally entered the bunker, which was locked. It is estimated that between 30 and 80 people celebrated in the hall during the night.
Kråkenes says a police patrol came across several confused youths in the area and later found all seven who were unconscious.
An ambulance and a rescue service were called to the scene and life-saving efforts began, before the youths were taken to hospital.
It is not clear how the youths were poisoned, but the police theory is that the carbon monoxide came from a unit that was used as a power source during the party.
Police have no suspects in the incident.
