(TheIndependentStar.com) – A Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris got pulled from duty after going berserk into a physical altercation with fellow agents while on the job early this week.
The New York Post initially reported the first fight, which a source later confirmed to Fox News Digital.
This incident unfolded at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland while Harris was at the Naval Observatory. However, the Secret Servicе clarified it did not causе any delay in her dеparture from the base.
Head of Communications for the U.S. Secret Service, Anthony Guglielmi, labeled the incident a “medical matter” and mentioned that the agency would not provide additional comments.
“At approximately 9 a.m. April 22, a U.S. Secret Service special agent supporting the Vice President’s departure from Joint Base Andrews began displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing,” Guglielmi stated.
He added, “The agent was removed from their assignment while medical personnel were summoned. The Vice President was at the Naval Observatory when this incident occurred and there was no impact on her departure from Joint Base Andrews.
“The U.S. Secret Service takes the safety and health of our employees very seriously. As this was a medical matter, we will not disclose any further details,” Guglielmi concluded.
As per Real Clear Politics, the agent showed erratic behavior and began assaulting the special agent in charge, eventually pinning him down and striking him.
Following the incident, the agent was restrained with handcuffs and received medical attention.
The outlet reported that staff had allegedly raised concerns about this agent’s behavior prior to the altercation.
