White House fence climber caught in dramatic Secret Service response
A man dressed in black attempted to climb the White House fence, prompting an immediate response from the Secret Service. The incident was captured on video by a tourist.
The man was spotted climbing the fence on the southern side of the White House complex. When he reached the top, Secret Service agents quickly reacted, running toward him. The entire event was recorded by a passerby touring the area around the residence of the U.S. President.
The climber got stuck on the spikes at the top of the fence, then changed his mind and began climbing down. As soon as he reached the ground, he was surrounded by agents. The New York Post reported that a tourist from Oklahoma who filmed the incident described it as "surreal."
The man's identity and motives remain unknown. The White House complex is protected by uniformed officers, special agents, and advanced security systems. It is unclear if the man will face any charges.
