VP Harris’ Stepdaughter Rushed from Restaurant (Video)

A man was arrested for damaging U.S. Secret Service vehicles from the detail protecting Ella Emhoff, the step-daughter of Vice President Kamala Harris, in New York City on Tuesday, authorities said.

The man was arrested and charged by the NYPD after trying to take or damage license plates on two Secret Service vehicles that were providing security to Emhoff, 25, who was not injured, according to the Secret Service.

The man was identified as Harry Heymann, 45, according to a senior law enforcement official. Investigators believe Heymann likely had no idea the cars were Secret Service vehicles, or whom they were protecting, the official said. 

He damaged the license plate bracket on one vehicle and attempted to remove the license plate on another vehicle in lower Manhattan, according to the official.

Heymann has previously posted on Twitter his concerns about vehicles parking in the Tribeca neighborhood.

A Secret Service statement on the incident said Emhoff was not directly affected.

“On Tuesday afternoon, an individual approached two United States Secret Service vehicles parked in lower Manhattan and, without provocation, caused damage to the rear license plate area of both,” the statement said. 

“Secret Service Agents quickly detained the individual until local authorities arrived and placed the individual into police custody,” the agency said. “At no point was any protectee in danger as a result of this incident.”
