A driver tore through the National Mall in an SUV Saturday, weaving around joggers, families and baffled tourists on the pedestrian paths between the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol.
Footage shared on social media shows the vehicle speeding past the Smithsonian Castle, blowing through stop signs and narrowly missing people on foot and on scooters.
U.S. Park Police said in a statement that the driver was arrested.
However, it remains unclear what charges were filed over the incident.
The driver is scheduled for a court appearance Monday.
No one was hurt.
