(The Local) A 25-year-old Palestinian who stabbed a police officer at an asylum centre in Denmark this week is the same man who attacked a Swedish minister earlier in the year, Danish officials have said.
Sweden's Minister for Justice and Migration, Morgan Johansson, was uninjured in the attack in March this year, which took place as he visited a housing project for refugees in southern Sweden.
He was leaving the building when a man grabbed a fire extinguisher and sprayed foam over the minister, regional newspaper Kristianstadsbladet reported at the time.

The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) said in a press release on Wednesday that the Palestinian was the same man who is currently accused of stabbing and seriously wounding a police officer at Sandholm asylum centre in Denmark, on Tuesday.
