A man accused of throwing a sandwich at a federal law enforcement official in Washington, D.C, amid President Trump’s city takeover has been charged with misdemeanor assault.

Sean Dunn, a Department of Justice (DOJ) employee at the time of the incident, was charged Wednesday with one count of “assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees,” according to court documents.

Federal prosecutors recently failed to secure a felony indictment against Dunn, who was charged with a felony earlier this month after allegedly throwing a sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent.

The incident was caught on video by onlookers and posted to social media.

“Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!” Dunn allegedly shouted at officers close to the corner of 14th and U streets.

In the wake of tossing the sandwich towards law enforcement, the man attempted to run away but was chased by police.

The virality of the sandwich incident also resulted in artwork going up in the District’s streets featuring a person appearing to toss a sandwich.

Trump’s D.C. crackdown also followed a similar deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles a few months ago, with both incidents sparking backlash from city residents and Democrats.

The Hill has reached out to an attorney for Dunn for comment.
