A man has been arrested after reversing a truck through the gates of the Russian Embassy in Dublin.
Gardaí say they're investigating an incident of criminal damage on Orwell Road earlier this afternoon.
The man who was arrested is being held at Rathfarnham Garda Station.
A Garda spokesperson says: "Gardaí are investigating an incident of criminal damage that occurred at a property on Orwell Road this afternoon, Monday 7th March 2022 at approximately 1.30pm.
"One male was arrested and taken to Rathfarnham Garda Station where he is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.
"Investigations are ongoing."
The Russian Embassy says it condemns what it calls a "criminal act of insanity".
In a statement, the Embassy said it believes "no people of sound mind could support such senseless and barbaric actions."
