A car rammed the security gate outside the White House late at night, and the suspect was arrested on the spot

According to the U.S. Secret Service on October 22, a driver was arrested after ramming his vehicle into a security gate outside the White House on the evening of the 21st. U.S. President Trump was inside the White House at the time of the incident, and the threat has since been resolved. The Secret Service stated that the incident occurred around 10:30 PM EST. The Secret Service has not yet released the driver’s details, and it is unclear whether the ramming was accidental or intentional, or why the driver approached the White House. Reports indicate that the White House was not placed on lockdown following the incident. The Secret Service added that the roads leading to the gate will remain closed until the vehicle is towed away. In recent years, there have been numerous vehicle ramming incidents near the White House gate, and the safety of American politicians has recently become a persistent concern.
