A man in his 40s was hospitalized after being assaulted in Namsos early Friday morning.

He was found unconscious and airlifted to St.

Olavs Hospital in Trondheim.

Police have since arrested a man in his late teens, who is now in custody and facing charges of bodily harm.

The victim, who suffered head injuries, is not critically injured but remains unable to give a statement.

Authorities are urging witnesses from the Havnegata area to come forward as the investigation continues.

The case is being treated as a high priority, with both technical and tactical efforts underway to uncover more details.
