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.

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.
