A 39-year-old man will appear before a judge over ‘cowardly’ attack on Mette Frederiksen
Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, has suffered a light whiplash injury after she was assaulted by a man in central Copenhagen, her office has said.
A 39-year-old man is due to appear for questioning in front of a judge in connection with the attack.
Frederiksen, a social democrat who has been prime minister since 2019 and has been tipped as a contender for a top EU post, had been taken to hospital for a check-up and her official events for Saturday have been cancelled, the prime minister’s office said.
