An intruder managed to slip through the fence surrounding the White House on Wednesday, and made it quite a ways across the lawn before Secret Service agents caught up with him and carried him out.

However, the agents didn’t seem too worried about the security breech and no guns were drawn. After all, the tiny intruder appeared to be only about two years old.

One agent was seen awkwardly carrying the child toward the outside fence, then another agent met him and took the child the rest of the way back to his family.

Videojournalist Tyler Smith posted a video of the moment, and wrote, “A kid squeezed through the fence on the north lawn of the White House. Secret Service has retrieved him and brought him back to his parents.”

The video has gone viral, with over 3.2 million views. Most people are commenting over the awkward way the first agent was carrying the child, and joking that it’s certainly easy to tell which agent has children and which does not.

Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi then confirmed the incident, writing, “Just after 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division officers observed a child slip through the White House north fence. Officers quickly reunited the child with their parents without incident.”
