The Man Who Attacked the Danish Prime Minister Was Sentenced to Four Months in Prison

On August 7 local time, a court in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, sentenced a 39-year-old Polish man who previously attacked the Danish prime minister in public to four months in prison. After serving his sentence, the man will be deported from Denmark and not allowed to enter Denmark for the next five years.

On the evening of June 7, 2024, Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen was beaten by a man near the prime minister's residence in Copenhagen. The man was subsequently arrested. According to Danish Broadcasting Corporation, the judgment determined that the 39-year-old Polish man repeatedly punched Frederiksen's right arm with his fist, causing her to lose balance, constituting violence against an on-duty civil servant. The man will be deported after serving his sentence and banned from re-entering Denmark for six years.

On June 7, Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen was punched by a strange man while on a date with friends in a square in Copenhagen, resulting in minor injuries.

After the incident, European politicians such as Swedish Prime Minister Kristersson and French President Macron condemned this incident.
