Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, has been assaulted by a man on a square in the capital of Copenhagen before European Parliament elections there.
Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was assaulted by a man on a square in the capital of Copenhagen, the state news agency Ritzau reported Friday. Copenhagen police confirmed on the social media site X that one person was arrested in the case and an investigation was underway. There was no immediate word on how the assault happened or whether Frederiksen was hurt. The prime minister’s office told the Danish state broadcaster DR that Frederiksen was “shocked” by the incident.
But it comes just ahead of the European parliamentary elections on Sunday. Frederiksen has been campaigning with the Social Democrats’ EU lead candidate, Christel Schaldemose. Media reports said the attack was not linked to a campaign event. News of the assault was received with shock and condemnation by politicians across the political spectrum in the small Scandinavian country and abroad.
