A Metropolitan police officer who faced rioters on the Capitol on Wednesday "was injured" but his injuries are not life-threatening, according to former Philadelphia Police Department Commissioner Charles Ramsey.

"He'll be out for a while. The officer is obviously very sore," Ramsey, who said he had spoken with Metropolitan Police Department Chief Robert Contee to get an update on the officer, told CNN.

Video from the riots on Wednesday shows a crazed pro-Trump mob barking as they crushed the head of a law enforcement officer between doors at the US Capitol.

The rioters pulled on the officer's gas mask, push him, and hit him in the face.

Talking to CNN, Farina said that the mob was unstoppable.

"They were going to get in there regardless of what was in their way."

"Nothing really fazed them," he added. "They just kept rotating in and out. They would say 'We need fresh patriots.'"
