Two shocked witnesses who saw the attack unfold told the local newspaper BT that it was a „hard shove.“
A man was arrested after attacking Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, in central Copenhagen on Friday. It is unclear whether Frederiksen was injured in the attack. The prime minister’s office said that Frederiksen was „shocked by the incident“ but did not give additional details.
Police in Copenhagen said that the incident took place at Kultorvet, a pedestrian square in the heart of the city. A barista working in the square at the time of the attack said that the prime minister appeared „stressed“ as she walked away, surrounded by security, following the alarming assault. It comes just two days before the polls open in Denmark for the European Union elections.
