Following what Capitol Police characterized as an illegal and violent protest at the Democratic National Committee headquarters Wednesday night, at least one demonstrator was arrested while six officers were left injured.
Several Democratic lawmakers were inside the building when the protesters arrived, barricading themselves in front of the doors to prevent anyone from entering or exiting the building.
One lawmaker said the protest "scared me more than Jan. 6," according to Axios. "Police were wearing gas masks. ... This was not peaceful."
Capitol Police revealed that injuries to officers ranged "from minor cuts to being pepper-sprayed to being punched." The protester who faced arrest did so due to assaulting an officer, USCP said.
There were roughly 150 people demonstrating outside the DNC, blocking Congress members from exiting, according to USCP.
