President Joe Biden was rushed from his Delaware beach house to a nearby firehouse Saturday after a security scare involving a small plane.

The Secret Service said an airplane mistakenly entered restricted airspace near the Biden vacation home in Rehoboth Beach. 

"Shortly before 1 p.m. today a privately owned aircraft entered the restricted airspace over Rehoboth Delaware after mistakenly entering a secured area," the Secret Service said in a statement. "The aircraft was immediately escorted out of the restricted airspace."

“Preliminary investigation reveals the pilot was not on the proper radio channel, was not following the NOTAMS (Notice to Airmen) that had been filed and was not following published flight guidance," the statement added. "The United States Secret Service will be interviewing the pilot.”

A few hours after the episode, the president was seen walking the beach again and relaxing. No arrests are expected.
