A Copenhagen court has today ruled that the 39-year-old Polish man accused of assaulting Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen on a public square earlier this month will remain in custody until July 4.
The man is suspected of punching Frederiksen on June 7 as she walked in central Copenhagen, leaving her with a minor whiplash injury.
The man, who was arrested immediately after the incident, has denied responsibility and says he has no recollection of what happened.
In a police questioning, relayed to the court today, Frederiksen stated that the man approached her and uttered something inaudible, then hit her on the shoulder with a closed fist.
