On Monday evening, a suspected perpetrator was arrested by the Copenhagen Police (Københavns Politi) following a shooting incident in Frederiksberg, a municipality near Copenhagen. The 18-year-old man who was shot near Falkoner Allé earlier that evening is now in stable condition and is no longer in life-threatening danger.

The police have maintained a significant presence in the area since the shooting and announced via Twitter that the investigation led to the arrest. It is anticipated that the suspect will be presented in a preliminary court hearing on Tuesday.

Deputy Police Inspector Lasse Michelsen stated to the Danish news outlet B.T. that the police are working intensively on witness interviews and collecting video footage from the surrounding area. It remains unclear whether the shooting is gang-related, but the police are not ruling out any possibilities.

The initial report of the shooting was received at 5:43 PM local time, and the police have since secured the scene. In response to the incident, there will be an increased police presence in the area on Tuesday as a precautionary measure to reassure the community. The family of the 18-year-old victim has been informed about his condition.
