Security guards shot and wounded a man dressed in military attire outside the Russian Embassy in Harare on Wednesday night, police have said.
Police spokesperson Paul Nyathi told the BBC that the 24-year-old man had confronted security guards at the embassy.
He was taken to a local hospital where he remains under arrest as police conduct an investigation into the incident.
The Russian embassy press attaché, Egor Kuropitnik, told the BBC that surveillance footage showed a man staggering towards the guards.
As he approached the perimeter of the embassy an officer fired what could have been a warning shot, but the man continued to move towards the security. A second shot was fired and the man collapsed.
He did not appear to have been trying to scale the wall, Mr Kuropitnik said.
