A man has reportedly been arrested by the US Secret Service after he burned a US flag during 4th of July festivities outside the White House in Washington DC.
According to a video posted in social media, the eyebrow-raising maneuver sparked a brawl in the crowd.
Under US law, flag burning is considered desecration and is punishable by fines or short-term imprisonment. It is unclear whether the burner would face penalties for starting a fire in a public place.
