Norwegian police said a person was arrested near Marius Borg Hoiby’s residence Friday night, while a separate report described an intruder entering the home and a confrontation at the door.
Eirik Veum, a representative of the Norwegian Police Security Service, told NRK about the arrest. He said the agency would not comment on a possible motive.
Se og Hor reported that a man entered Hoiby’s residence after Hoiby opened the door to check on loud banging. The outlet said Hoiby pushed the man back outside and alerted security. The police confirmation did not say whether the arrest was connected to that account.
Hoiby’s attorney, Alexander Greaker, said in remarks to Se og Hor that the incident had shaken his client. He described a home as “a place where you should feel safe.”
