A Capitol Police officer was crushed behind a door trying to block protesters from gaining entrance, and the whole blood-curdling incident was caught on video.
WARNING: Graphic content
In the video, one can see the bloodied officer trapped between a metal door frame and his shield. He screams horribly and calls for help as his mouth is bleeding.
Just before the footage of the officer himself, one can see a MAGA hat-wearing mob chanting "Heave! Ho!" and pushing together in unison in an attempt to break through which leave the poor officer trapped in the middle.
The video goes on to show police still holding the door and clashing with the mob, trading blows with nightsticks.
On Wednesday, a frenzied mob of Trump supporters breached security and broke in to the Capitol building, causing mayhem. Congress was in session, and the session had to be suspended for almost six hours while order was restored.
The events of Wednesday have so far claimed the lives of five people, including a female Trump supporter and Air Force veteran, and another Capitol police officer who was seriously injured with a fire extinguisher.
