The man was making a fuss about the NYPD parking placards given to law enforcement agencies so they can park without having to circle the block, TMZ reported.
Their sources said the man came up and started a confrontation with the Secret Service agent without realizing he was an agent.
During the argument, the man then ripped the plate off a Secret Service vehicle, which is when police were called.
An eyewitness said Emhoff and a friend were inside during the altercation but were then rushed out and placed in an SUV before it drove off.
The suspect, described as an ‘anti-police watcher,’ has not been identified.
‘On Tuesday afternoon, an individual approached two United States Secret Service vehicles parked in lower Manhattan and, without provocation, caused damage to the rear license plate area of both,’ a Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement provided to DailyMail.com on the incident.
‘Secret Service Agents quickly detained the individual until local authorities arrived and placed the individual into police custody. At no point was any protectee in danger as a result of this incident,’ they said.

The altercation comes as Emhoff has gained attention with her stepmom Harris front and center as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
Emhoff, a model and artist, recently came to her stepmom’s defense after a video of Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance from 2021 surfaced criticizing her along with other Democrats as childless cat ladies.
