Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit has admitted carrying out a cocaine and alcohol-fuelled assault on his girlfriend, in a statement released by Norwegian broadcaster NRK on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Police arrested Marius Borg Hoiby, 27, on 4 August following a night-time row at an apartment in Oslo.<\/p>\n

He has been accused of causing bodily harm and injuring a woman with whom he was having a relationship.<\/p>\n

According to Norwegian media reports, police found a knife stuck in one of the walls of the woman’s bedroom at the apartment.<\/p>\n

The day after the incident, the woman received medical treatment, but was not admitted to hospital, her lawyer said.<\/p>\n

In his statement to NRK, Hoiby said that “something happened that should never have happened.”<\/p>\n

“I committed bodily harm and destroyed objects in an apartment while under the influence of alcohol and cocaine after an argument,” he added.<\/p>\n

Hoiby said he had suffered with “mental troubles” and struggled “for a long time with substance abuse”.<\/p>\n

He said he would seek new treatment and “take it very seriously”.<\/p>\n

But he added that “the consumption of drugs and my diagnoses do not excuse what happened in the apartment.”<\/p>\n

“I want to take responsibility for what I did,” he said, promising to be frank with police.<\/p>\n

Hoiby has already pleaded guilty and says he is ready to serve out whatever sentence is handed down, his lawyer Oyvind Bratlien told Norway’s TV2 television.<\/p>\n

Hoiby was born in 1997 from a relationship prior to Mette-Marit’s 2001 marriage to Crown Prince Haakon, the heir to the Norwegian throne.<\/p>\n

While Hoiby was raised by Mette-Marit and Haakon together with his step-siblings, 20-year-old Princess Ingrid Alexandra and 18-year-old Prince Sverre Magnus, unlike them he has no official public role.<\/p>\n

The royal family has so far made no comment on the arrest.<\/p>\n
