Reuters—The U.S. Secret Service arrested a man after he climbed a gate at the U.S. Treasury building in Washington on Sunday at about 2:30 p.m., the agency said in statement.
Traffic in the area was blocked off as Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department’s bomb squad, “out of an abundance of caution,” examined a bag the man had left on the sidewalk outside the fence, according to the statement from a Secret Service spokesperson. It was not an explosive device, the spokesperson added.
