Latvia’s Prime Minister Evika Silina described the attack as “outrageous”.

Silina said on X: “Deeply shocked by the outrageous attack on my colleague and friend, Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen.

“All our thoughts are with you and your loved ones. Wishing you a speedy recovery!”

The extent of Frederiksen’s injuries are unclear at the moment.

The chilling attack took place at Kultorvet – a mainly pedestrian area in the capital.
