Secret Service agents say they’ve arrested a man who was seen climbing over a fence that borders the White House.

The man, whose name has not yet been released, scaled the fence late Sunday afternoon and was immediately taken into custody, said Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary, to Politico. The White House went in to a brief lockdown mode due to the incident.

Charges are pending, Politico reported.
