A 39-year-old man has been arrested after deliberately ramming his SUV into the gates of the Russian consulate in Sydney’s Woollahra district.
Police said the vehicle had been parked in the driveway and suddenly accelerated when officers approached, smashing through the gates and onto the consulate lawn.
Two officers suffered minor injuries during the incident. The driver, identified as Rimi Abraham, faces multiple charges including trespassing, resisting arrest, and property damage.
He has been refused bail and will appear in court.
Authorities confirmed there is no ongoing threat to the consulate or the public.
