A suspect who climbed over the White House fence on Wednesday was nabbed by Secret Service agents and dogs, a spokesman for the elite agency said.
“At approximately 7:16 p.m. (1116 GMT), an individual climbed the north fence line of the White House,” the spokesman said.
Video on local media appeared to show a man being intercepted by officers before he had a chance to reach the White House.
On September 19, another man, Omar Gonzalez, jumped the White House fence and allegedly sprinted across the lawn and entered the building with a knife in his pocket.
Gonzalez has been indicted on two counts of “assaulting, resisting, or impeding” U.S. Secret Service agents. — AFP
