He was identified by the Secret Service as Joseph Caputo. NBC Washington noted that his car — which had the vanity plate CAPUTS — was towed from the scene.
Another witness said on Reddit that the man "just jumped over and kneeled in the middle of the lawn. Quite interesting."
The North Lawn of the White House was shut down immediately following his detainment, according to Fox 45 Baltimore.
The Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
