WASHINGTON — On Thursday morning, Secret Service agents intercepted a man who attempted to breach the White House grounds. During a brief confrontation, one officer sustained an injury.

The incident unfolded shortly after 11:30 a.m., when the man was apprehended by uniformed Secret Service police after he leaped over a construction barrier near the Treasury Building on the complex’s northeast side. Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesperson for the protective agency, provided these details in a statement.

The individual was confronted by officers near a pedestrian gate, where a physical struggle ensued before he was taken into custody, Guglielmi explained. During this altercation, a Secret Service officer suffered a cut, though the injury was deemed non-life-threatening.

The authorities have yet to release the identity of the intruder, who was detained approximately two hours before former President Trump was scheduled to leave the White House for a two-day trip to Nevada and Arizona.

This incident is reminiscent of a similar situation just a month prior, when a man was arrested for crashing a van through a temporary security barrier near the White House.

Thursday’s incident comes a month after a man was arrested for driving a van through a temporary security barricade near the White House. 

The driver, Christopher Cavanaugh, was charged with unlawful entry and destruction of property, according to local outlet WUSA9. 

Cavanaugh, 35, reportedly told Secret Service agents he was trying to “deliver a present.” 

The Ohio man was seen wearing a shirt that read, “Trump is my President, Jesus is my savior,” according to the outlet. 

In February, Secret Service and local cops shot and killed an armed man who entered the grounds of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla. 

Austin Tucker Martin, 21, of Cameron, NC, was carrying a shotgun and a gas can when he sneaked through the club’s secure perimeter at 1:30 a.m. Feb. 22. 

 Trump was not at Mar-a-Lago at the time.
