Several Odense residents witnessed a violent episode where a man swung around with a lit motor saw on the street near Vesterbro in Odense C.

This is reported by Fyns Police.

There were several witnesses to the incident, and Fyns Police also received several 112 calls about the man with the motor saw.

Fyns Police received the first report at 23.34 and arrived at the scene shortly thereafter.

The man was in conflict with another man who was in possession of a knife.

When the police arrived at the scene with several patrols, both men were arrested.

- We believe that the man with the motor saw posed a danger to others on the scene, says Christoffer Jacobsen, who is shift commander at Fyns Police.

According to the shift commander, something happened before the conflict, which the police have not yet controlled.

The man with the motor saw is still in police custody. He will now be questioned, before Fyns Police will decide whether he will be presented in a constitutional hearing.

Even though there were many witnesses in the area, the man with the motor saw did not hit anyone, and no one was injured in connection with the incident.

Both men have now been charged with violating the weapons law and assault, reports Fyns Police.
