The Ukrainian Embassy described the incident as a “deliberate” ramming of the ambassador’s parked car.

“The police were called immediately, and the suspect’s vehicle was blocked up. Nevertheless, despite the police actions, the attacker hit the ambassador’s car again. In response, the police were forced to open fire on the perpetrator’s vehicle. The culprit was apprehended and taken to a police station,” the embassy said in a statement.

Um...was the ambassador in the car? Because it changes everything if he was or was not. If he was, it's a huge deal, if he wasn't, then why did the police fire on someone who was likely mentally ill? So he wouldn't further damage property?
