Federal prosecutors this week released new video of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick being sprayed by rioters during the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, The Washington Post reported.

The footage, released by prosecutors on Wednesday, shows Sicknick with other police officers trying to restrain members of the mob attempting to enter the Capitol.

A rioter then sprays Sicknick with the chemical substance, after which the officer backs away. Footage then shows the officer trying to wash out his eyes with a bottle of water, according to the Post.

The released footage was played in court during the trial of Julian Elie Khater and George Pierre Tanios, two men accused of assaulting Sicknick.

Kanter, 32, and Tanios, 39, face charges of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to impede or injure an officer and other related counts.
