Key Points
  • Police responded to an incident involving about 50 naked men running in Trondheim's Tyholt district
  • Witnesses reported music and partying in the area before the police intervention
  • The incident has raised questions among residents in the normally quiet neighborhood

On Friday evening, voices and music were heard on the streets in the Tyholt district of Trondheim, according to multiple reports. Kaja Eriksen saw about 50 naked men running on the street below her apartment, and she believes the police have stopped the party because it suddenly became very quiet. The police have spoken with a number of the men and said they do not want to see any more similar antics, a spokesperson confirmed.

Witnesses described the men coming running through Kantennelunden park. Earlier in the evening, Kaja Eriksen saw that there was a party in the area. According to witness accounts, the men were around 18 years old.

Kaja Eriksen thought it was just fun. She received a message from a neighbor who also saw the naked men. The neighbor has children aged 14-15 who did not know what to do or where to look.

According to Kaja Eriksen, this is a very quiet area, with a lot of construction, so this livened things up. The Tyholt district is known as a quiet residential area, but the incident has raised questions among local residents. It remains unclear what specific organization or group the naked men belonged to, such as whether they were NTNU students or others. The exact reason or purpose for the naked run, whether it was a prank, tradition, or protest, has not been confirmed. Police have not disclosed whether any arrests or formal charges were made, and the exact number of men involved, as well as the duration and timing of the event on Friday evening, are still unknown.
