COPENHAGEN , Denmark — A Polish man was sentenced to four months in jail for assaulting Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, local media said Wednesday, adding he will be expelled from the country.
The unidentified 39-year-old man has been charged with punching Frederiksen’s right shoulder with a clenched fist, causing her to lose her balance but not fall. Frederiksen suffered whiplash at the time.Frederiksen was on a private break from the Social Democratic Party’s campaign for the elections to renew the European Parliament when the assault took place on a busy downtown Copenhagen plaza.
Prosecutor Anders Larsson had demanded four months in jail for assaulting the prime minister and for exposing his private parts to passing people, saying his sexual acts were not gross but “were certainly uncomfortable” for those seeing it, according to DR. “His behavior and demeanor are far removed from a citizen who should be in our society,” Larsson said in court, according to DR.
