UPPER EAST SIDE, Manhattan (WABC) The FBI has arrested two more men from our area over their alleged involvement in the Capitol riot two weeks ago, including one accused of crushing a Metropolitan Police officer in a doorway in a video that went viral.
Authorities say 23-year-old Patrick McCaughey, who allegedly caused the injuries to Officer Daniel Hodges, was arrested around 7 p.m. Tuesday in South Salem.
Hodges became stuck in the doorway as insurrectionists attempted to break through the line of uniformed officers who were in place to prevent them from entering the lower west terrace door of the Capitol, and the FBI says McCaughey, of Ridgefield, Connecticut, can be seen using a clear police riot shield to physically push against the left side of Hodges body.
A man who pointed an arrow at himself on a social media post that showed him rioting at the U.S. Capitol is among the latest to be arrested from the Tri-State area.
