The danger was now considered to be over, but the authorities still did not know what the object was, Xinhua quoted Svein Arild Jorundland, a police commander at the site, as saying.
A suspect was detained for questioning and a large area was cordoned off after the object was found around the Gronland subway station in Oslo.
"There was a police patrol who came across a man they became interested in. In connection with him, they found a box with content that police believe is suspicious," Jorundland said earlier.
"I can not answer (if is a bomb), but it is an object that is about 30 times 30 centimetres -- that is to say there is big potential for damage, but it is of such a nature that we want the bomb group to examine it," Jorundland had said about the object.
