A Pole has been found guilty of punching Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. The court in the capital Copenhagen sentenced the Pole to four months in prison, deportation and ban on entry to Denmark for five years, BBC writes.
The 39-year-old, whose name has not been released, told the court on Tuesday that he had drunk too much alcohol "to remember what happened".
Frederiksen suffered minor injuries when he was punched in the shoulder in a Copenhagen square in June.
In addition to the charge of assaulting a public servant, the man was also found guilty of several counts of fraud and indecent exposure in connection with other incidents.
After serving his prison sentence, he will be deported. It will also pay court costs.
The defendant had pleaded not guilty to the assault charge, but guilty to some of the other charges.
The 46-year-old is the leader of the Social Democrats, the largest party in Denmark's governing coalition, and became the country's youngest prime minister when she took office in 2019.
