A Washington, D.C., man was charged with assaulting a federal officer after he allegedly threw a sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent during a confrontation this week, according to court documents.
Sean Charles Dunn faces federal charges for allegedly throwing a sub-style sandwich at a CBP agent who was patrolling with Metro Transit Police in Northwest Washington around 11 p.m. on Sunday.
According to the criminal complaint, Dunn approached the officer while shouting “f— you! You f—— fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!”
After several minutes of confrontation, Dunn threw the sandwich, striking the officer in the chest, the complaint says. The alleged incident was apparently captured in a video posted to Instagram.
Authorities say that after attempting to flee, Dunn was apprehended and later admitted to the incident while being processed at the police station, allegedly telling an officer, “I did it. I threw the sandwich.”
