A man held the police near the US Capitol in Washington for hours with a bomb threat and then surrendered to the security forces.
The 49-year-old suspect was arrested without resistance, said Capitol Police chief Tom Manger on Thursday afternoon (local time) in Washington.
It is unclear whether he actually - as he claims - had an explosive device in his vehicle.
Police had previously announced that the suspect drove a truck to the Library of Congress that morning and stopped there.
The driver told the police that he had a bomb.
The man, whose motive was initially unclear, was then discussed about a “peaceful solution”.
Videos appeared on the net that are supposed to show the man in the vehicle.
The police did not confirm the authenticity of the videos.
The videos show a man sitting in a vehicle filming himself.
He asked to speak to President Joe Biden on the phone.
He also talked about Afghanistan, patriots and a revolution.
On January 6, an angry mob stormed the Capitol. The attackers wanted to prevent Congress - the US Parliament - from officially confirming Biden's election victory over then US President Donald Trump. In April, despite significantly tightened security measures, an attacker killed a police officer in front of the parliament building and seriously injured another. There was also an incident outside the Capitol in April in which a police officer was killed by an attacker.
