The US Capitol in Washington is currently on lockdown after car rammed into two police officers.
As a result of the incident both cops have been taken to a local hospital in the American capital.
According to police the suspect is currently in custody and has also be transferred to a medical facility.
A tweet from the Capitol Police read: "USCP is responding to the North Barricade vehicle access point along Constitution Avenue for reports someone rammed a vehicle into two USCP officers.
"A suspect is in custody. Both officers are injured.
"All three have been transported to the hospital."
Streets surrounding the U.S. Capitol and congressional office buildings are on lockdown with a heavy police presence.
Dozens of police cars, marked and unmarked, raced toward the Capitol building.
All roads leading to the complex were blocked by cops or police officers.
A helicopter was seen hovering overhead and observers were ordered to leave the area. Videos from the scene showed what looked like two people on stretchers being loaded into ambulances.
Authorities have begun only in the past couple of weeks to remove the outer ring of high, razor-wire-topped fencing erected around the sprawling Capitol complex after an attack on January 6 by thousands of supporters of then-President Donald Trump.
