Danish police said they have arrested a man and are investigating after Frederiksen was attacked in Copenhagen. Frederiksen's office said she was 'shocked by the incident'.
Frederiksen was "beaten" on Friday evening at the public square of Kultorvet in Copenhagen, by a man who was subsequently arrested, her office said in a statement. "The prime minister is shocked by the incident." Police said on social media platform X they had arrested a man and were investigating the incident but declined to give further details.
"She seemed a little stressed," Soren Kjergaard, who works as a barista on the square, told the Reuters news agency after seeing the prime minister being escorted away by security following the assault. "Mette is naturally shocked by the attack. I must say that it shakes all of us who are close to her," Danish Environment Minister Magnus Heunicke said on X. The assault comes two days before Danes head to the polls in the EU election.
