The 21-year-old was reportedly slashed while on his way to a petrol station. He was left seriously wounded after being attacked near Norway’s capital Oslo by a man who allegedly asked him if he was a Muslim before he pulled out a knife. The stab victim said: ”I was alone. I was pretty sure I was going to die. I looked at my clothes, my leather jacket, my slacks, everything was covered with blood.”

”He took out the knife very slowly. That’s when I understood something bad was going to happen right there and then. “He tried stabbing me. The knife didn’t hurt me but then he tried again with more force and the knife stood out of my body.” The next thing the 21-year-old remembers is the alleged attacker standing over him asking “do you remember Paris?”.

When the victim didn’t answer the attacker allegedly said ”f*****g muslim”, pulled out the injured man’s phone and threw it back at him saying ”you can call the police now” as he walked away from the scene. The alleged victim called the police and was rushed to hospital where he had emergency surgery. Police spokeswoman Laila Stenersen confirmed they received the 999 call. She said: ”The victim has told us that the incident happened without provocation and that he didn’t know his attacker. His injuries were serious and he needed emergency surgery."

Police have yet to catch the alleged attacker and the investigation is on-going. Ervin Kohn from the anti-racism centre in Norway said that several Muslims in Norway have been attacked. He said: ”The facts that these attacks are happening right after Paris indicates a connection. For some people the line between muslim and terrorist is gone.”
