Armed Iranian targets Tehran embassy in Denmark

10/8/2022

An Iranian armed with a knife who tried to enter Iran’s embassy in Copenhagen was arrested on Friday, Danish police said, as Tehran’s mission criticised officers’ slow response.

“A 32-year-old Iranian citizen was arrested Friday morning after having breached the grounds of the Iranian embassy in Copenhagen carrying a knife,” Copenhagen police said in a statement.

The man was apprehended by an embassy employee on its grounds before reaching the mission’s building, it added.

The suspect will be brought before a judge on Saturday, who will decide if he should remain in pre-trial detention.

“It is regrettable that in the heart of Europe, such an attack can be perpetrated against a woman and ambassador who enjoys diplomatic immunity, and that the police are not at the scene in time,” it said in a statement.
