The U.S. Secret Service said in a post on the social network X that a toddler got through the White House gate on Wednesday.
Video shows the child, who was wearing a blue coat and red shoes, being carried by police.
“Just after 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division officers observed a child slip through the White House north fence. Officers quickly reunited the child with their parents without incident,” Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi wrote Wednesday.
