One person was detained Thursday morning after a car rammed into a security barrier outside a House of Representatives office building

Images showed a heavily damaged white sedan outside the Rayburn Office Building while officers apprehended a person nearby.

The incident took place while indicted Rep. George Santos (R-NY) was holding a press conference ahead of a debate and vote on his potential expulsion from Congress.

The crash comes 23 days after a registered sex offender from Georgia was arrested while walking with a rifle near three Senate office buildings on the other side of the Capitol.

A Capitol Police spokesperson told The Post that officers were “monitoring” the situation.

There was no immediate indication the crash was deliberate or terrorism-related.
