A pedestrian has been reportedly injured in an incident with the presidential motorcade outside of the White House.
They updated just a few minutes ago with more, saying:
What we know so far:
One protester was arrested for jumping in front of the motorcade near the 17th and Pennsylvania intersection.
One law enforcement official was hurt, but accounts differ on what exactly occurred.
Secret Service says they’ll update our WH team shortly.
The idea that someone would have jumped out in front of the motorcade kinda fits with the insanity going around today.
But I’m still looking so I’ll let you know if this is what happened as soon as I know more…
UPDATE:
Here’s the statement from the Secret Service…
Sources say Chinese motorcade was involved in the incident and @secretservice officer was injured but not struck by a vehicle pic.twitter.com/AhQAahadkn
