FBI busts Capitol rioter who kicked cop down a flight of stairs after calling him a 'traitor' [View all]
A Kansas man who allegedly used “aggressive force” to push a Capitol police officer down a small flight of stairs on Jan. 6 was arrested this Monday and subsequently charged, Law&Crime reports.
According to an FBI affidavit, Michael Eckerman, 37, was observed on surveillance video “pushing his way toward the front of the crowd where uniformed U.S. Capitol Police Officers have stopped the push of rioters.”
“Eckerman pushes his way through the crowd up to one of the officers until he is face to face with the officer. He appears to push the officer backwards several feet,” the affidavit states.
