A man in his 30s attacked two pilots and a passenger with an axe on a domestic Norwegian flight this morning, injuring three people.
The pilots managed to land the Kato Air flight which was on its way from Narvik to Bodoe in northern Norway.
The attacker was immediately arrested at Bodoe airport.
Witnesses said several people were covered with blood, and three people were taken to hospital. They were reported to have injuries which were not life threatening.
The motive for the attack is unclear, however, police said it could be tied to the man's asylum status.
The attacker had been living at a northern Norwegian centre for asylum seekers. His application for asylum had been rejected according to police.
