The Danish Prime Minister cancelled campaign events on the eve of voting in her country
00:06
after she was assaulted by a man in downtown Copenhagen.
00:10
Following the attack, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was rushed to a hospital but was
00:15
unharmed.
00:16
However, her office said she was shaken by the incident.
00:19
To some, the assault on elected leaders adds to the growing sense of democracy itself being
00:24
under attack.
00:25
I think it's disgusting, because you can disagree politically, but I don't think it should take
00:32
place, especially on politicians, they do their job.
00:42
The recent violence has come in the run-up to elections taking place this weekend for
00:47
the European Parliament.
00:49
The most serious attack so far was the attempted assassination of Slovakian Prime Minister Robert
00:54
Fico, who was shot while he met with supporters.
