Man accused of Danish PM attack ‘too drunk to remember’
Ms Frederiksen suffered minor injuries as a result of the incident
A Polish man has pleaded not guilty to punching Denmark’s prime minister, saying he was too drunk to remember the incident.
The suspect, who cannot be named because of legal restrictions, has gone on trial in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, charged with violence against a public servant, as well as several counts of indecent exposure and fraud relating to other incidents.
He has pleaded guilty to some of the other charges and could face a prison sentence and deportation.
PM Mette Frederiksen suffered minor neck and shoulder injuries as a result of the attack, which took place just three weeks after Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was seriously injured in an assassination attempt.
