The U.S. Secret Service arrested two people near the White House on the 9th. One of them drove his car onto the sidewalk, and the other climbed over the barricade in Lafayette Park in front of the White House.

Reuters reported that U.S. President Trump was in the White House when the incident occurred. The White House briefly implemented a lockdown, and roads around the park were temporarily closed.

A spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service issued a statement stating that at around 10 a.m. local time on the 9th (11 p.m. Taiwan time on the 9th), a car rushed onto the sidewalk around Lafayette Park.

"The driver became confrontational with law enforcement officers and was quickly arrested," the statement said. "At almost the same time, a second person climbed over a roadblock near the northwest corner of Lafayette Park and was quickly arrested," the statement said.

The U.S. Secret Service said it is currently investigating the two incidents and it is unclear whether there is a connection between the two.

Agence France-Presse reported that video taken by witnesses at the scene showed that the man drove his car into a sign on the sidewalk in Lafayette Square opposite the White House, and was then dragged out of the car and subdued by the police.
