In the Australian city of Sydney, an unexpected and sensational incident occurred in front of the Russian Consulate General. On the morning of September 1, a white SUV crashed into the iron gates of the Russian consulate. This was reported by local media, including ABC.
According to the information, the incident took place at around 8:00 a.m. local time. The New South Wales police received a report about a suspicious vehicle parked near the consulate. When police officers arrived at the scene to investigate and attempted to speak with the 39-year-old driver, he suddenly started the car and drove into the consulate premises. However, the move did not last long — the vehicle stopped only after crashing into the iron gates.
After the incident, the driver was arrested and taken to the police station. The car that had rammed into the consulate gates was later removed from the area with the help of a tow truck.
At present, an investigation into the incident is ongoing. According to officials, the Australian Federal Police are also involved in the process.
So far, the Russian side has not made any official statements regarding the incident. Experts note that the reasons behind this act, the driver’s personal motives, and possible legal consequences against him are being investigated.
Thus, the unusual incident at the Russian consulate in Sydney has attracted significant attention from international media and the public.
