OSLO (AFP) - Norwegian police said officers shot and injured a woman on Friday who was about to stab a child in Oslo.
Authorities arrived on the scene after being informed that "a person with a knife wanted to kill someone," Oslo police said on Twitter.
"When they arrived, they saw a person was preparing to stab a child with a knife. Police shot her" said another Tweet, without specifying the relationship between the woman and child.
The woman was hospitalised, and her and the child s condition were not immediately known.
Norwegian police, who are not usually armed, have been temporarily carrying more firearms due to increased jihadist threats against authorities.
