WASHINGTON, DC — The FBI is asking the public's help in identifying a man they say assaulted law enforcement personnel at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, according to a post on the bureau's official Twitter account.

The suspect, whom the FBI is calling "Subject #106," was captured on video during the violence at that U.S. Capitol, which followed a rally by former President Trump in front of the White House. The rioters were attempting to disrupt a joint session of the U.S. Congress, which was ascertaining and counting the electoral votes related to the 2020 presidential election.

Members of the U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement personnel were assaulted as they tried to prevent the rioters from entering the building.
