Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has spoken to the media for the first time after being attacked in the street.
In an interview for the Danish channel TV 2, Frederiksen stated that she is not completely herself and that she will continue to work from her office.
The Danish prime minister was attacked by a man in central Copenhagen on Friday evening. Local media reported that a man walked up to Frederiksen and pushed him before hitting him in the right arm.
Danish police believe the incident is likely not politically motivated. The attack took place in Kultorvet, one of Copenhagen's main squares.
Frederiksen did not give further details about the attack, but told the reporter, "it's very frightening when someone crosses the last physical limit that you have. I'm shocked and surprised."
The Prime Minister indicated that the attack followed threats on social media that, according to her, have increased after the war in the Middle East.
"As a human being, I feel like it was an attack on me," Frederiksen said.
"But I have no doubt that it was the prime minister who was hit. In this way, it becomes a kind of attack on all of us".
A 39-year-old Pole, resident in Denmark, was arrested and will be held in custody until June 20.
