Bratislava: Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico was battling life-threatening wounds Wednesday after officials said he was shot multiple times in an assassination attempt condemned by European leaders.
Dramatic footage from the scene in central Slovakia shows security agents grabbing a wounded Fico from the ground and hustling him into a black car that speeds away as police handcuff a person on the pavement.
Police detained the suspected gunman at the site of attack in Handlova, outgoing Slovak President Zuzana Caputova told reporters after the seemingly unprecedented act of violence against a Slovak prime minister.
"I am shocked, we are all shocked by the terrible and heinous attack," she added.
Fico was shot multiple times, said a post on his official Facebook page.
