Two more from Brooklyn arrested for taking part in U.S Capitol riot
Two more Brooklynites have been arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol break-in and riot in Washington, D.C.
The two men, both in their twenties, are identified as Antonio Ferrigno of Sheepshead Bay and Francis Connor of Dyker Heights. According to an FBI special agent whose name was blacked out in an official document, they traveled to Washington D.C. with another Brooklyn resident, Anton Lunyk, on or before Jan. 6, 2021.
Lunyk already has a pending case in D.C. District Court based on his involvement in the events of Jan. 6. Federal agents found photos of both Connor and Ferrigno inside the Capitol with Lunyk on Lunyk’s Instragram account.
