Security scare ... An officer confronts the intruder / AP A SCREAMING intruder entered the White House grounds while President George W. Bush was present before being subdued at gunpoint by anti-terrorist teams today.
The bearded man, apparently unarmed and wearing a ragged T-shirt that said "God Bless America", scaled the White House fence near the front gates and ran several dozen yards inside.
He was yelling: "I am a victim of terrorism."
Mr Bush was in the executive mansion at the time, having returned several hours earlier from morning church services followed by a mountain-bike trek.
Nearly a dozen black-clad federal agents and uniformed police, some crouching with their guns drawn, surrounded the intruder on a patio near a row of cameras used for television broadcasts.
He at first ignored orders to get down on his knees but then complied and was handcuffed and led away.
Reporters were briefly confined to the White House press quarters while police checked the area.
The Secret Service had no immediate comment on the incident, which lasted a few minutes. The suspect's identity was not known.
There was no immediate word on how he got past White House security.
The fences are heavily guarded on both sides, with police on foot, bicycle and motorcycle patrolling the front sidewalk.
It was the second major security incident at the White House in little more than two weeks.
A man was arrested on March 22 after throwing an object over the fence and triggering a bomb scare that closed down the front gates. No explosives were found.
The Secret Service said the man had tossed suspicious objects over the fence before.
