People on dirt bikes and ATVs were seen driving inside the World War II memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., over the weekend.
Video posted on X showed at least three people driving around the outdoor memorial late Saturday night.
The United States Park Police is aware of the video, according to FOX 5 DC.

“This is as hallowed as Arlington National Cemetery. Having individuals riding motorcycles there showed a real lack of respect,” Fields expressed.
Regulations in D.C. ban the operation of ATVs on public roads and within the National Mall vicinity. However, the Metropolitan Police Department stated that officers will not engage in pursuits of these vehicles due to the department’s chase protocol.

Earlier this month in the nation’s capital, two Metro police officers were hit by an ATV rider in northeast D.C. That driver fled the scene.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the National Park Service for comment.
