The driver of a U-Haul truck that barreled into a security area near the White House has been arrested on multiple charges, including threatening to kill or harm a president, vice president, or family member — as a Nazi swastika flag was retrieved from the vehicle.
The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, crashed the box truck onto barriers on the north side of Lafayette Square — about a block from the White House — at about 10 p.m. Monday.
The suspect faces the charge of threatening to kill, kidnap or inflict harm on a President, vice president or family member, the US Park Police said in a statement to The Post.
He also faces charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, destruction of federal property and trespassing, according to the agency.
A video posted by The Insider Paper shows the dramatic moment the vehicle mounted a curb and slammed into the security barrier.
