A man has been arrested after crashing his car into the Russian consulate in Melbourne, Australia. The suspect, who was injured in the incident, has been taken to hospital for treatment. Police arrived at the scene after the driver crashed his car into the consulate's guardhouse. It is believed that the driver had earlier attended an anti-war rally where he was heard shouting profanities about Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin.
