Ukrainian ambassador’s car attacked outside London embassy (photos)

"The police were called immediately, and the suspect’s vehicle was blocked up"

Newsroom April 13 06:43

Gunshots have been fired by police following an attack outside the Ukrainian Embassy in west London.

The embassy said a motorist deliberately rammed the ambassador’s car outside the building in Holland Park.

When police were called, the perpetrator rammed the car a second time, prompting officers to open fire.

Witnesses have said at least 10 shots were fired. A suspect – a man in his 40s – was arrested at the scene.

The Met said it also used a Taser, while it confirmed the incident was not terror-related.
