Roman Abramovich's £430m superyacht targeted by activists before fleeing to safety

An activist tried to attack Roman Abramovich's £430million superyacht Solaris before it was moved to a safe haven.

A determined Lithuanian protester reportedly tried to take control of a boat he'd hired to steer it towards the Russian oligarch's 460ft luxury vessel and damage it. Police have confirmed the incident took place in Barcelona Port and identified those involved but made no arrests as charges weren't pressed.

The man at the centre of the drama - which occurred on March 3 but has only just been made public - remains anonymous. His attempt to damage Solaris - which left Barcelona in a hurry last Tuesday, two days before the Chelsea owner was sanctioned by the UK government - is said to have occurred after he hired a smaller vessel.
