Norwegian police have arrested a 51-year-old British man over a bomb threat against a Ryanair plane flying from London Stansted to Oslo.

The flight safely landed in Oslo’s main airport on Friday after receiving the bomb threat in mid-air. A bomb squad was carrying out a security search on the plane, Norwegian broadcaster NRK reported.
