Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Saturday that she was feeling "shaken" but otherwise "fine," after she was hit by a man on a Copenhagen square the day before.
"I am saddened and shaken by the incident yesterday, but otherwise I am fine," Frederiksen said in a post to Instagram, adding that she needed "peace and quiet."
