Police open fire as vehicle rams Ukraine embassy car in London; no injuries
LONDON (Reuters) - Police in London opened fire outside the Ukrainian embassy on Saturday after a man rammed his vehicle into the ambassador’s empty parked car at least twice before being arrested, officials said.
No one was hurt in the incident, which happened early on Saturday outside the embassy building in the affluent Holland Park area of west London, and it was not being treated as terrorism, police said in a statement.
The embassy said in a statement that the ambassador’s empty official vehicle had been deliberately rammed as it sat parked in front of the building.
“The police were called immediately, and the suspect’s vehicle was blocked up,” it added.
