According to RIA Novosti, the Washington Sun journalist Martin Austermüle in the social network X said:

- It's unclear what happened, but someone just crashed a car into a sign on the north side of Lafayette Square Park and then, getting out of the car, got into a fight with Secret Service and National Guard officers.

A media worker published footage of the emergency: they see a gray sedan surrounded by security forces.

Other journalists said media representatives were ordered to take shelter.

- The Secret Service ordered the press to remain inside the building under some sort of isolation regime. It is unclear why and what the threat is, Telegraph journalist Connor Stinger told X.

Minutes after his message, he added:

- The incident appears to have ended and the White House isolation regime has now been lifted. Journalists are again allowed to leave the briefing room.

It is unclear whether the two incidents are related.
