Philadelphia police detained two men late Thursday night (local time) after receiving a tip that a Hummer vehicle from Virginia with two or three people armed with firearms was headed to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where ballot counting is under way for the US presidential election.

Police had reportedly been investigating an alleged plot to attack the Pennsylvania Convention Centre in Philadelphia, according to local media.

Just after 10:20pm Eastern time, police reported they had received information about a 2003 grey or silver Hummer with Virginia tags that was occupied by several people armed with AR-15 rifles.



Vote counting continues in Philadelphia, at the Pennsylvania Convention Centre.

On the back window of the Hummer were decals associated with the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy movement, including a large "Q" and "#WWG1WGA," which stands for "where we go one we go all."
