A Russian diplomat allegedly tried to assault a policeman who was intervening in an accident case involving the car of the accused in South Delhi's Moti Bagh on Wednesday.

It is further alleged that following an argument with cops present at the spot, the diplomat also tried to assault one of them, constable Naib Singh
A First Information Report was registered at the South Campus Police Station against the diplomat under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code. More details are awaited.
