Secret Service officer assaulted outside White House; suspect arrested

The U.S. Secret Service said one of its officers was assaulted outside the White House and suffered non-life-threatening injuries on Tuesday afternoon, and a suspect was taken into custody.

A man was arrested for allegedly assaulting a Secret Service officer outside the White House Tuesday. 

A spokesperson for the Secret Service told FOX 5 DC that the incident unfolded at approximately 12:30 p.m. Tuesday on Pennsylvania Avenue and that the attack on the officer was unprovoked. 

A motive for the assault was not immediately clearly, and the officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

According to the president’s official public schedule, Biden delivered remarks starting at 10 a.m. on the South Lawn and signed the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. 

Then, at 2 p.m., Biden was scheduled to deliver remarks in the East Room before signing accession protocols for Finland and Sweden to join NATO.
