Read our privacy policy In her first television interview since she was assaulted last week, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Tuesday "I am not quite myself,” but will continue to work mostly from her office. Frederiksen, who suffered a minor whiplash after a man had assaulted her Friday in central Copenhagen, said in her first reaction the following day that she was ok. Frederiksen gave no details of the assault Tuesday when she spoke in a television interview, but said "it was very intimidating when someone crosses the last physical limit you have. In this way, it also becomes a kind of attack on all of us.” “I would rather have a Denmark where the prime minister can bicycle to work without being worried,” she said. In court, the Pole who was not identified, reportedly praised Frederiksen as “a really good prime minister,” and investigators suspect he was under the influence of drugs and intoxicated at the time of the incident that happened just before 6 p.m. local time Friday.
