Kamala Harris‘ Stepdaughter, Ela Emhoffhad a little trouble in the Big Apple this week — or rather, his Secret Service detail did… and it ended with an arrest.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Ella — who is the Second Gentleman Emhoff Mass‘s daughter — was in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon, where she was grabbing a bite to eat at a restaurant … while her Secret Service detail stood guard at the entrance.
We’re told that while she was inside, one of her officers — who was dressed in plain clothes — got into an altercation with what we described as an “anti-police vigilante.”
Basically… this guy is going around making a fuss about the NYPD parking placards given to police agencies… so they can park without having to circle the block.
In this case… our sources say the guy in black showed up and started fighting with the Secret Service agent in blue you see in the video… apparently not realizing he was an agent… assuming he was a cop abusing his parking privileges.

During the altercation — part of which was captured on video and obtained by TMZ — the man ripped the license plate off of one of the Secret Service vehicles… and that’s when the cops were called.
You see the guy being led away in handcuffs. Our sources say he was arrested, but it’s not clear what he was charged with.
An eyewitness told us that Ella and a friend — who were inside the entire time it was happening — were rushed out and put into one of the SUVs, which you see in the video.

We’ve reached out to Doug’s people…so far, no word back. The Secret Service tells TMZ that this guy tampered with one of their license plates for no apparent reason — which is why he was detained and ultimately arrested. They note…that none of their charges were in danger.
