A uniformed Secret Service officer was injured after a protester jumped in front of a motorcade carrying Chinese officials near the White House on Wednesday.
An unidentified pedestrian was arrested for crossing a police line and then assaulting the officer just blocks from the White House at 12:55 p.m., NBC reports.
The officer was taken to the hospital with a leg injury that officials described as serious but not life-threatening.
Details of the incident remained murky Thursday morning.
