Police arrest man armed with machete on Capitol Hill

An unusual event occurred in Washington, where the Capitol Police arrested a man who tried to enter the Capitol Hill Visitor Center, armed with a machete and three knives.

The incident happened during the security check at the entrance of the center, where the officers noticed the weapons that the man was carrying in his bag.

Security officials have not yet released many details about the identity of the man arrested, but it has been made clear that he will be charged with possession of "dangerous" weapons, a serious offense in an area as sensitive as Capitol Hill.

This act caused a brief interruption in the activities of the Visitor Center, as the northern entrance of this facility was closed for some time during the investigation.

Also, there is no information yet if this individual had violent intentions or if this is a case of a simple attempt to illegally pass through security.

This case has also raised questions about security at the Visitor Centers of government institutions and other possible security measures that may be taken in the future. (A2 Televizion)
