Man Arrested With Homemade Sword at Senate | Washington DC News

A man walked into a Senate office building Tuesday afternoon with a homemade sword in his bag—flagged by X-ray, found during a manual search. When officers detained him, he resisted, and later became combative, striking an officer before being taken to the hospital for a mental health evaluation. Now facing multiple serious charges including weapon possession, resisting arrest, and assaulting an officer, he declined to speak. The incident underscores how quickly tensions can escalate—and why security measures are non-negotiable in sensitive government spaces.
