“The Oslo Police District can confirm that Marius Borg Hoiby was arrested by the police on Sunday evening, suspected of causing bodily harm, making threats with a knife, and violating a restraining order,” the police said in a statement.

It added that they had requested that Hoiby, who will go on trial on charges including four rapes on Tuesday, be remanded in custody for four weeks “on the grounds of risk of reoffending”.
