UPDATE: A Washington D.C. man is facing felony assault charges after a shocking incident on Sunday where he threw a Subway sandwich at a federal agent. Witness Cortez Dargin, 28, captured the chaotic moment involving Sean Charles Dunn, 37, a former employee of the Department of Justice, which has left onlookers stunned and authorities on alert.
The incident unfolded around 2:30 PM on September 24, 2023, as Dunn, seemingly inebriated, created a commotion on the streets of D.C. Dargin reported that Dunn was yelling accusations, claiming, “these guys are fascists,” while attempting to engage passersby. “There was a bunch of ruckus,” Dargin recalled, laughing at the absurdity of the scene.
Dunn’s outburst escalated when he approached federal vehicles parked nearby, asking Dargin, “What car did the feds pull up in?” As tensions rose, Dunn unexpectedly launched his foot-long Subway BMT sandwich at a federal officer, hitting him squarely in the chest and scattering sandwich ingredients.
This outrageous behavior not only astonished Dargin but also elicited laughter from some officers present. “They were learning the area and this is like your first day of training and you get a sandwich thrown at you,” he said, expressing empathy for the federal agents who had to deal with this bizarre incident.
After the sandwich throw, Dunn quickly fled the scene, disappearing behind nearby buildings. Dargin described his escape as “lizard-like,” noting the peculiar agility with which Dunn moved. However, the authorities were quick to respond. Photos later emerged showing Dunn, in a pink shirt and light blue shorts, being apprehended and cuffed by police.
In the wake of this incident, Dunn has already lost his position at the DOJ.
“If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you,”
warned Attorney General Pam Bondi, emphasizing the seriousness of such actions against federal agents.
As developments unfold, this incident raises questions about public behavior towards law enforcement and the consequences of such reckless actions. The community remains on edge, and many are left wondering what repercussions Dunn will face in the coming days.
