Police at the US Capitol building arrested a man with a machete and three knives as he attempted to enter through a checkpoint Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Capitol Police said the machete was spotted by an X-ray machine at an entrance to the building’s visitor centre.<\/p>\n

The knives were found during a search of his bag, police said in a statement posted online.<\/p>\n

The man, who police did not name, was arrested on multiple charges of carrying a dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n

The arrest came shortly before a visit by President-elect Donald Trump, who planned to meet Senate Republicans.<\/p>\n

Trump also was scheduled to view the casket of former President Jimmy Carter, who is lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda, a large room in the centre of the building which contains both the US House and Senate chambers.<\/p>\n

There was increased security around the Capitol complex in Washington DC this week, as lawmakers met on Monday to certify the results of the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n
