Norway: Police called after neighbours hear screaming - what they found baffled them

Police responding to a call-out where neighbours heard screaming assumed they were dealing with your everyday domestic dispute.

But when a man answered the door clearly on his own, they became even more suspicious.

Officers in Oslo, Norway, received several worried calls from residents of an apartment block and entered the room where they thought the noise was coming from.

All they found was a man and his computer - he calmly explained he had been playing chess with his PC and was devastated when it outmaneuvered and beat him, several times.

While holding back their laughter, police reminded him to be careful about the noise before moving on to their next call.

Oslo police tweeted about the incident on Monday evening via their official social media page.

Officers posted: "We’re at the place. Just a chess player frustrated by constantly losing against his own PC." ...Mirror
