Four Muslim men abducted, beat and robbed a street preacher in Trondheim, finally demanding at knifepoint that he convert to Islam or be killed, it was reported in January.
Roar Fløttum, who regularly preaches and prays for the sick on the streets of the historic northern city, was lured away by the four seemingly friendly men to pray for a friend who had ‘injured his foot and was waiting for an ambulance’.
After pushing Fløttum down a flight of stairs and beating him about the head, they took his bank cards, mobile phone and extracted his passwords. He was held captive while the men withdrew over 10,000Kr (£900) from his accounts.
