DENMARK’S Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has been attacked on the street in central Copenhagen.
Cops quickly arrested a man after the prime minister was hit and left in a shocked condition, say Danish cops and Frederiksen’s office.

Latvia’s Prime Minister Evika Silina described the attack as “outrageous”.
Silina said on X: “Deeply shocked by the outrageous attack on my colleague and friend, Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen.
“All our thoughts are with you and your loved ones. Wishing you a speedy recovery!”
The extent of Frederiksen’s injuries are unclear at the moment.
The chilling attack took place at Kultorvet – a mainly pedestrian area in the capital.
It comes just two days before the polls open in Denmark over the European Union elections.
Frederiksen has been active on the campaign trial for the crunch vote in the last few weeks.
Just a few weeks earlier, Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot five times in a “politically motivated” assassination attempt.
The pro-Putin prime minister, 59, was gunned down in a bloody attack by a 71-year-old man before being swiftly airlifted to hospital for emergency surgery.
