Wanted to take the train - ended up in arrest

A man in his twenties was arrested at Drammen train station after he violently reacted when denied further travel to Oslo.

A man in his twenties was arrested at Drammen train station early Friday after exhibiting aggressive behavior towards a train. His outburst stemmed from frustration over not being able to continue his journey to Oslo, leading him to strike and kick the train. According to Tom Richard Skuggedal of the Southeast Police District, a train manager notified the police about the aggressive individual, who was reported to have been under the influence of substances.

Upon the arrival of law enforcement, the man refused to provide his personal details and was described as quarrelsome and intoxicated. The police documented the incident in their logs shortly after 2 a.m. on Friday. In light of his behavior, the man was taken to the police station where he is expected to face charges related to his actions that night.

This incident illustrates underlying issues of security and behavioral conduct in public transport settings, particularly late at night. The police's response highlights their approach to managing such disturbances and ensuring public safety, while also addressing potential substance abuse factors that can exacerbate situations like these.
