Norwegian magazine Se og Hr reported that Borg Hiby is accused of both 'psychological and physical' assault on the woman, who subsequently required hospital treatment for a concussion but was released early Monday morning.

Meanwhile, publication Dagbladet described the scene of the incident as a wrecked apartment.
