COPENHAGEN, June 09 (AFP): Danish authorities said Saturday that an attack on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, which she said left her "shaken" but "fine", was not thought to be politically motivated.
A 39-year-old Polish man, apprehended after hitting the prime minister on Friday evening on a Copenhagen square, was remanded in custody until June 20 after appearing before a court in the Danish capital, prosecutor Taruh Sekeroglu told reporters.
"It is not our guiding... hypothesis that there is a political motive here. But that is something that the police of course will investigate," Sekeroglu said.
