– Exercising violence against several people

In connection with a music festival in Kirkenes, eight people have been expelled from the site on Saturday evening and overnight into Sunday.

Bad behavior

The first report from the police in Finnmark came just before 23:00 on Saturday evening.

There were then two people who were expelled from the place due to bad behaviour.

About two hours later, the police report that a further four people have been expelled from the scene due to bad behaviour.

– These will not have the opportunity to return to the city until tomorrow, the police write on X.

Violent incidents

At 01:23 the police report that they have expelled another person from the event. This time it will be about an incident of violence.

The suspect was expelled from the scene and the police are opening a case on the matter, it is reported.

Then, just before 02:00, another message comes from the police in Finnmark. Now it was a man in his 30s who has been taken into police custody after having committed violence against several people at the event.

– Ingested too much

Operations manager in the Finnmark police district, Gunnar Øvergård, tells Nettavisen that it will be an event with several hundred people.

He also states that they have not received a report that people are supposed to be injured after the events that have occurred at the site.

– No one has needed medical treatment. There is more talk of pushing and acting out verbally, says Øvergård.

– Alcohol is served there, so someone must have had a little too much, he continues.
