Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was attacked at a busy intersection in Copenhagen on Friday. The incident occurred at Coultervet, a well-known junction in the capital. According to reports from the BBC, the Prime Minister was not seriously injured in the attack.

Witnesses stated that a man approached Prime Minister Frederiksen and struck her on the shoulder. The motive behind the attack is currently under investigation by the police, who have yet to provide further details.

The Swedish Prime Minister's Office reported that Frederiksen was understandably shaken by the incident but did not elaborate further. Both political opponents and allies have condemned the attack.

European Union (EU) President Ursula von der Leyen called the attack a "despicable act" and expressed her solidarity with Frederiksen. The Danish Prime Minister has received widespread support and well-wishes for her recovery following the incident.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack to determine the motive and ensure the Prime Minister's safety.
