Secret Service arrested two people after a vehicle crashed near the White House.
Secret Service officials arrested two people outside the White House in separate incidents on Monday near Lafayette Square Park.
Video that quickly went viral online showed a vehicle that appeared to run into a barrier, with the engine emitting smoke.
“Just before 10:00 a.m., Secret Service Police and National Guard responded to the north side of Lafayette Park at 16th Street and H Street, NW, where a vehicle crashed onto the sidewalk. The driver was combative with law enforcement, but was quickly placed under arrest,” a Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement.
