Man arrested after jumping White House fence, causing lockdown
WASHINGTON - A man jumped the White House fence on Wednesday evening and was attacked by Secret Service dogs before being arrested, a Secret Service spokesman said.
"Dogs got him," spokesman Edwin Donovan said, referring to the intruder.
He identified the intruder as Dominic Adesanya, 23, of Bel Air, Maryland, and said he was unarmed at the time of his arrest.
Video showed Secret Service agents surrounding the man on the north lawn of the White House, which was put on lockdown for about 90 minutes. The man punched one of the dogs that attacked him, as seen in the video. Two Secret Service dogs "were taken to a veterinarian for injuries sustained during the incident," Donovan said.
