Australian police have arrested a 34-year-old man after he drove his car into the front gate of the Russian consulate in Sydney, according to police and local media.
In a statement, the New South Wales Police Force said the crash took place on Monday morning after officers responded to reports of an “unauthorised vehicle” parked in the driveway of the consulate in the Sydney suburb of Woollahra.
Officers tried to speak with the driver, but he “drove his vehicle into the gates of the property”, the statement said.
A 24-year-old constable was injured on his hand during the incident, it added.
Television footage from Sky News and Nine showed a car with a smashed window abandoned next to a Russian flagpole.
There was no immediate comment from the Russian consulate.
