        A suspect was arrested in Norway after at least three people were stabbed with a sharp object, leaving one critically injured Friday, police said.
        
        Police at first said the attack in the village of Nore as random, but later clarified that there was "a family relationship" between the assailant and at least one of the victims.
        
        A police inspector said in a statement, "This is a family from Syria, and the perpetrator and one of the injured are married."
        
        Police said the suspect was a man who had received a restraining order in December following an investigation of domestic violence.
        
        Police said, the suspect, who also was injured, was held on suspicion of "grievous bodily harm."
        
        Police said, two people were flown to a nearby hospital by helicopter.
