The Secret Service detail assigned to Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter arrested an “anti-police watcher” during a heated altercation on an NYC sidewalk on Tuesday, video shows.
Ella Emhoff, the daughter of second gentleman Doug Emhoff, was inside a Tribeca restaurant for lunch when the frustrated New Yorker confronted her detail outside, according to a video obtained by TMZ.
The “anti-police watcher” goes around the city complaining about cars that have NYPD parking placards that can park anywhere instead of driving around the block, the outlet reported, citing a source.
The unidentified man, wearing a black shirt, confronted one of Emhoff’s plainclothes agents, not knowing he was a part of the Secret Service.
The agitator reportedly ripped a license plate off one of the black SUVs parked on the street during the argument, leading to the NYPD being called to the scene.
Emhoff, who was inside with a friend, was rushed out and placed in one of the SUVs, the video shows.
The man was handcuffed and arrested, but it was unclear what charges he faces.
The Secret Service confirmed to TMZ that the man had messed with a license plate unprovoked before being detained and arrested, noting that no protectee was in danger.
The Secret Service has been under fire in recent weeks following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Trump’s right ear was grazed by a bullet shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks, who had climbed on top of a nearby roof without being stopped by law enforcement.
