Disturbing video of Wednesday’s US Capitol revolt shows what appears to be a Capitol Police officer being crushed between a riot shield and a metal door as a crowd of protesters enter the building.
The young officer, with a bloody mouth, screams in pain and calls for help.
The medical condition of the unidentified police officer after the incident was not immediately known.
The rioters, armed with pipes and pepper spray, pushed and kicked the officers – even using their own shields against the Capitol’s strength – to make their way through the front entrance.

In the chaotic video, the rioters shout “Heave ho!” how they use a riot shield to break the door. One of the protesters seems to be spraying a chemical irritant against the police and another person can be heard shouting “Take your shield g —- mn!”
Another Capitol Police officer, Brian Sicknick, died in a hospital on Thursday due to injuries sustained during the rebellion and a California rebel was shot dead. Three other people died from medical emergencies before or during the rebellion, police said.

Only a few dozen police officers were stationed at the entrance to the building when the group marched through the National Mall with the intention of breaking into the Capitol on the same day that lawmakers were certifying the results of the Electoral College.
