A man wearing an American flag as a cape was arrested on Thursday after successfully jumping the fence to get on to the White House lawn. While he may have stuck the landing, his success was short-lived as he was immediately arrested.
A person outside the White House was able to capture photos of the man's jump and landing:

No other details about the jumper are currently available. This marks the third time this year that someone has managed to hop the fence to the White House lawn.
