“On Tuesday afternoon, an individual approached two United States Secret Service vehicles parked in lower Manhattan and, without provocation, caused damage to the rear license plate area of both,” USSS spokesperson James Byrne said in a statement shared with CNN.
Soon after, the unidentified man was detained and taken into custody by the USSS and New York authorities.
“Secret Service Agents quickly detained the individual until local authorities arrived and placed the individual into police custody,” Byrne said. “At no point was any protectee in danger as a result of this incident.”
The incident comes just weeks after a failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, which prompted the agency’s former director, Kimberly Cheatle, to resign from her role after a heated congressional testimony.
