We are concluding the live section of the blog. Further details on the early Monday morning incident (for our readers in Europe) can be found below.
The Russian consulate was briefly closed following the incident, as reported by Reuters, citing individuals with visa appointments.
A relationship has been established between the vehicle involved in the incident and the consulate, with surveillance footage from Australian TV networks showing a car with a smashed window sitting next to a Russian flagpole.
Several witnesses have corroborated the events, with one reporting that they witnessed a police officer photographing a car parked near the consulate. Additional witnesses account for the arrival of a police helicopter and later, the removal of a white vehicle from the consulate by a flatbed truck.
One individual, a 39-year-old man, has been arrested following this event, and a 24-year-old police officer sustained a minor injury to the hand.
Preliminary attempts by police to engage with the driver resulted in him operating the vehicle into the consulate.
Earlier reports had mentioned an unauthorized vehicle parked in the consulate’s driveway; police responded to the scene around 8 a.m. local time.
