A man was arrested Tuesday outside the White House and accused of assaulting a uniformed Secret Service officer.
The agency said the attack occurred at about 12:30 p.m. without provocation. The officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries, according to WTOP.
The Secret Service did not immediately release the name of the suspect.
The attack occurred near a guard booth along 15th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, a busy thoroughfare for tourists hoping to get a glimpse of the White House.
