A Danish court on Wednesday sentenced a 39-year-old Polish man to four months in prison and ordered his deportation for the attack on the Danish Prime Minister. Mette Frederiksen in Copenhagen last June. “We found you guilty of punching the Prime Minister on the right shoulder.”Judge Jacob Scherfig said after a two-day trial.
On June 7, in the late afternoon, while Mette Frederiksen was walking in the center of the Danish capital accompanied by her bodyguards, the accused approached her, expressed something incomprehensible, and struck her with his fist on the right shoulder, according to the Prime Minister’s testimony collected by the police. A “mild cervical sprain” had been detected by doctors.
The suspect, who was under the influence of alcohol, was immediately apprehended and placed in provisional detention the following day. The man told a Copenhagen court on Tuesday that he did not remember the incident and denied any responsibility.
