Police in Buenos Aires shot and killed a man on Monday after he crashed his vehicle into the Chinese consul.

The unnamed man was shot, according to a police statement, after soldiers arrived at the scene.

Online video captured dozens of people leaving the consul developing while the blue Honda car was resting in the entrance.

The event was denounced in a consulate statement, which also stated that it posed” significant danger” to the security of its staff and other personnel present.

It continued,” We vehemently condemn this violent strike and reserve the right to seek retribution for the affair.”

The consulate has sent solemn representations — a term for expressing diplomatic discontent— to the US, pleading with them to make sure the situation is properly handled.

Police stated that an investigation was ongoing but made no more details public.

The embassy building in the state’s Japantown neighborhood is cordoned off, and images depict a sizable police presence.

In the anteroom, Queue obstacles and chairs were topped, and various pieces of furniture were broken.

There have been no reported accidents from inside the embassy.

Chinese President Xi Jinping is anticipated to enter the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, which will take place in Buenos Aires second month.
