BURSTA man was charged with a felony on Wednesday after allegedly throwing a sandwich at a federal law enforcement official amid the uptick in police presence as ordered by President Trump, according to court documents.
Sean Charles Dunn, 37, shouted at a group of U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents on Sunday before hurling a sandwich at an agent, according to police.
“Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!” Dunn reportedly yelled.
He started pointing at the officers while calling them a “fascist,” the complaint alleges.
Onlookers videoed the incident and caught him throwing a sub sandwich at officers on camera.
After hurling the food at the officers, Dunn attempted to run away but was chased by police.
He was charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees as a result of the alleged crime, according to a court filing.
“He took a Subway sandwich about this big and took it and threw it at the officer. He thought it was funny,” U.S. Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro said in a video response to the incident on X.
“Well, he doesn't think it's funny today because we charged him with a felony, assault on a police officer, and we're going to back the police to the hilt. So there, stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else.”
