There was no immediate word on how the assault happened or if Frederiksen was hurt in any way. The prime minister's office told the Danish state broadcaster DR that she was "shocked" by the incident. News of the assault was received with shock and condemnation by politicians across the political spectrum inside the Scandinavian country and abroad.
Violence against politicians has become a theme in the runup to the EU elections. In May, a candidate from Germany's center-left Social Democrats was beaten and seriously injured while campaigning for a seat in the European Parliament.
