The FBI has released a slew of 10 new videos showing MAGA rioters at the U.S. Capitol dousing cops with bear spray, grabbing gas masks and beating officers on January 6.
The agency noted before the videos that their contents contain disturbing images and has asked for help from the public in identifying the violent rioters.
In the 'bolo' - or 'be on the lookout' - video for unidentified rioter #91, the man is seen wearing a red flannel jacket and grey cap as he batters an officer with some sort of stick or rod five times before throwing it at the officer.
Man #231 was filmed deploying bear spray at a group of officers before then throwing the empty can at them and Man #91 is seen wearing a red flannel jacket and grey cap as he batters an officer

The man, #91, has yet to be identified and was seen backing away before returning to the front
He was pictured with a black and gold arm band, the signature colors of the Proud Boys
Another camera angle shows the officer bracing from the hits with their arm as the violent mob swarms the capitol. The suspect appears to be wearing a black and gold band on his right arm, the signature colors of the Proud Boys.
The Proud Boys, founded by Gavin McInnes, are self-described 'Western chauvinists' who have been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
In another video from the same location that appears to have happened before the incident with #91, man #231 was filmed deploying bear spray at a group of officers before then throwing the empty can at them.
Another video angle shows cops appear to return fire, deploying their own pepper spray in the man's face as he grabs at their riot shields.
Video footage later shows #231 grabbing a shield as he is sprayed in the face by cops
Another man, #123, was pictured hitting an officer in the head as he tries to rip off his gas mask
That man was pictured wearing a sparkly blue mask while storming the Capitol on January 6
Man #255 was caught on video casually walking on the steps near the Capitol as a large group of officers gathered below
He then released a fire extinguisher onto the unsuspecting police officers gathered at the Capitol

Another man, #255, was caught on video casually walking on steps near the Capitol as a large group of officers gathered below.
He then sprays them with what appears to be a fire extinguisher, dousing them in the retardant.
In a video for a man referred to as #94, he appears to be holding the barrel of a long-gun while beating cops with its butt, though the FBI did not clarify what the man is holding.
In another vide, an older man #114 was pictured wearing a white dust mask while breaching the Capitol building
He was caught on video appearing to use a stun baton on officers while holding a riot shield
A photo provided by the FBI shows the same man, wearing a striped jacket and red hat, inside the Capitol.
A man wearing a red cap, #114, is seen at the doors to the Capitol as cops in riot gear try to stop rioters from entering.
It appears that someone deploys a Taser at the start of the chaotic video. The video cuts to another angle, in which an officer wearing a bike helmet is seen on the ground attempting to arrest another man.
That man shouts: ‘Oh wow, I’m being kicked by the cops.’
Man #170 was seen in a body camera video throwing multiple punches at an officer while wearing black gloves
The MPDC officer is seen getting socked in the side of the head and in his face shield
A man referred to as #153 was filmed wearing a gray and white striped shirt with a black backpack and sporting a black MAGA hat
Man #153 was filmed jabbing at cops with a long black rod as others in the violent crowd throw unknown objects at officers and chant 'USA, USA'
Then #114, while holding a riot shield and what appears to be a stun baton, lunges forward and appears to use the stun baton on police as electric charges are heard on the video.
An officer then pull out their yellow Tasers and attempt to shoot #114 with it, but is unsuccessful when the rioter blocks the pins with his shield.
Man #123, wearing a sparkly blue mask, was filmed grunting while trying to remove a gas mask from the face of a federal officer.
In yet another video, a man referred to as #153 is filmed wearing a gray and white striped shirt with a black backpack and sporting a black MAGA hat.

U.S. Capitol police shoved the man back toward a group of Trump supporters gathered outside on January 6
That man is seen jabbing at cops with a long black rod as others in the violent crowd throw unknown objects at officers and chant 'USA, USA.'
Man #113 was seen apparently trying to shove a law enforcement officer surrounded by Capitol rioters near the same entrance seen in videos for Man #91 and Man #231. It is unclear what else may be occurring in the chaotic video released on Thursday.
Man #170 was seen in a body camera video throwing multiple punches at an officer while wearing black gloves, and ripping away his riot shield. In another angle, the MPDC officer is seen getting socked in the side of the head and in his face shield.

The FBI noted in its release that it has arrested more than 300 people who took place in the Capitol riots after receiving 'hundreds of thousands of tips from the American people.'
'Of those, more than 65 were arrested for assaulting law enforcement officers,' the FBI noted.
'However, some of the most violent offenders have yet to be identified, including the 10 seen assaulting officers in the video footage we are releasing today.'
