A person jumped the fence outside the FBI's Chicago field office and
began throwing rocks at the building on Thursday morning, Chicago authorities have stated.
No injuries or damage were reported in connection with the incident
and Rob Sperling, a spokesman for the Federal Protective Service, said
that the individual taken by Chicago police to a hospital
for evaluation.
The police department's news affairs office said the
person was only taken to a hospital but was not arrested.
This comes on heels of the FBI being under increased threat since the raid was carried out on former president Donald Trump's home in Florida a few weeks ago.
Since the raid, a man armed with an AR-15 was killed in a shootout after attempting to breach FBI offices in Cincinnati and a Pennsylvania man was arrested after posting death threats against agents on social media.
There have been a number of calls for armed uprisings and civil war by member of the right wing who are upset at the FBI's involvement with the raid on Trumps home.
