The attacker was swiftly arrested, but there is no word yet on a motive.

European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen called it a "despicable act, which goes against everything we believe in and fight for in Europe".

Going to be curious to see who - and if we hear at all - this person is.

I hope she'll be fine. It had to be terrifying.
