Sean Charles Dunn was arrested and charged with felony assault after he allegedly screamed at federal agents in DC then whacked a CBP agent with a sandwich before running off.
A man is facing federal assault charges after allegedly ‘forcefully’ throwing a Subway sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent during a confrontation Sunday night in Washington, D.C.
Metro Transit Police said they were patrolling the U Street area, seemingly as part of the Trump administration’s initiative to crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital, when a man later identified as Sean Charles Dunn shouted obscenities at a CBP agent, standing inches from his face and calling him a ‘fascist.’
Moments later, police said Dunn returned, wound up, and ‘forcefully threw’ a sandwich at the agent, hitting him in the chest, according to court documents. He then ran away, with a trail of federal officers chasing him.
Witnesses could be heard giggling as Dunn darted from the cops, according to an Instagram video posted by a bystander.
After being arrested and taken to the police station, Dunn allegedly told another officer, ‘I did it. I threw a sandwich.’
He is charged with felony assault on a law enforcement officer.
