A man is taken into custody in the United States on suspicion of having damaged the house of the Vice President of the United States J.D. Vance. This was reported by the channel ABC News with reference to the US Secret Service.

The man was taken into custody after allegedly causing damage to property, including breaking windows at Vance's home in Ohio. Just after midnight, he was physically detained by Secret Service officers and then arrested by Cincinnati police.

"The residence was empty at the time of the incident, and the vice president and his family were not in Ohio," the Secret Service said.

Vance and his wife Usha bought the house for about $1.4 million in 2018.
