A Polish man will stand trial in Denmark on Tuesday for attacking Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. The assault happened in early June in central Copenhagen.

The incident led Frederiksen to cancel several engagements and raised concerns about rising aggression in public. The 39-year-old suspect, who was intoxicated, claims he doesn't remember the event.

Danish authorities note he was unaware of Frederiksen's identity at the time. A verdict could come by Wednesday.
