A female final-year student, known in Norway as a "russ", was injured on Tuesday night during a student celebration in Oslo. The police confirm to Dagbladet that they have received a report.

Even the woman's "rollercoaster" - the buses that Norwegian students traditionally use for partying - confirms that she has suffered permanent eye damage and blames the laser on social media.

This comes after a male student celebrant was blinded in one eye by a laser at a student party in Arendal in southern Norway on May 17.

The controversial Norwegian party bus tradition dates back to the early 1980s. According to the tradition, buses are rented and driven around by senior high school students and party on them for several weeks.
