“The FBI is asking for the public’s help in identifying 10 individuals suspected of being involved in some of the most violent attacks on officers who were protecting the US Capitol and our democratic process on January 6,” said assistant director in charge (ADIC) of the FBI’s Washington Field Office Steven M. D’Antuono.

“These individuals are seen on video committing egregious crimes against those who have devoted their lives to protecting the American people," he added.

“We’re grateful to the members of the public who have already been a tremendous help in these investigations,” ADIC D’Antuono said. “We know it can be a difficult decision to report information about family, friends, or coworkers, but it is the right thing to do, and the FBI continues to need your help to identify these suspects.”

The FBI is requesting any information or tips on the individuals depicted in the videos be forwarded to the FBI's hotline 1-800-CALL-FBI or online at tips.fbi.gov.
