President Donald Trump’s latest push to clean up the streets of Washington, D.C., reached new heights after law enforcement arrested and charged a man for allegedly hurling a Subway sandwich at a federal officer.
A police complaint identified the man as Sean Charles Dunn, a 37-year-old D.C. resident who was captured shouting obscenities at police before apparently chucking the footlong at law enforcement Tuesday night. Dunn is now facing a felony charge for assaulting a federal officer, according to the FBI.
‘I did it. I threw a sandwich.’
Dunn initially approached law enforcement and got within inches of an officer’s face, yelling, “F**k you! You f**king fascists!” according to the complaint. Dunn later crossed the street while continuing to yell obscenities before returning to throw the sandwich and striking a federal officer in the chest, video of the incident indicated.
Dunn quickly attempted to flee on foot following the confrontation, but he was swiftly apprehended, video showed.

While Dunn was being processed, he admitted to the police that he was the culprit, according to the complaint.
“I did it. I threw a sandwich.”
U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro said she was going to “back the police to the hilt” after charging Dunn with a felony.
“Assault a law enforcement officer, and you’ll be prosecuted,” Pirro said in a statement on X. “This guy thought it was funny — well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today, because we charged him with a felony.”

“We’re going to back the police to the hilt,” Pirro added. “So there! Stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else.”
