Police say a suspicious package that a man brought to the World Bank headquarters two blocks from the White House was not a threat.

District of Columbia police Officer Quintin Peterson says no explosives or hazardous materials were found.

The bank said in a statement that a man approached a security officer at the 18th Street entrance about 12:45 p.m. Wednesday with a suspicious package. Police were notified and the man was taken into custody.

Employees were asked to stay put until the incident was resolved. The building was not evacuated.
