The Secret Service said it arrested a man on Tuesday afternoon after he allegedly assaulted an officer outside the White House.

A Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement that the man “physically assaulted” a uniformed officer shortly before 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday on Pennsylvania Avenue, which is located on the north side of the White House.

The spokesperson said the incident occurred “without provocation” and the officer suffered non-life threatening injuries.

The man had no known motive and the Secret Service is investigating, according to a person familiar with the matter.
