An Iranian armed with a knife who tried to enter Irans embassy in Copenhagen was arrested on Friday, Danish police said, as Tehrans mission criticized officers slow response, claiming targeted the ambassador. “He entered the embassy, ​​spread terror (…) and damaged the cars in the parking lot,” Iran’s ambassador Asfaneh Nadipour said in a statement, AFP reported. "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 affirmed in a statement on Friday. The Iranian foreign ministry "strongly criticised" the Danish police response. "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. The suspect will on Saturday be brought before a judge, who will decide if he should remain in pre-trial detention. The police said the Iranian man is accused of vandalism, violence and an offence against a person protected by diplomatic status. Iran has faced three weeks of protests since 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in custody following her arrest in Tehran by the morality police. There have been rallies worldwide in solidarity with Amini.
