Officers of the Secret Service uniformed division had noticed the suspect, 37-year-old Max Eli Viner, minutes before he was spotted by Capitol Police.

Capitol Police officers searched Viner and discovered multiple knives on his person, including a change saw blade, according to the press release.

"The United States Secret Service quickly arrived on scene, searched the suspect's SUV, and found fake police equipment," the release read.
