A father and son from New Jersey have been charged with taking part in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, during which, federal prosectors said on Wednesday, the older of the two hit a police officer with a chair thrown through a window and also shoved an officer’s head.

The men, Richard Andrews of Brick Township and Keith Andrews of Howell, were arrested in New Jersey on Tuesday, prosecutors said.

Richard Andrews, 72, was charged with the felony offenses of assaulting, resisting or impeding law enforcement officers and obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder. He was also charged with several misdemeanors. Keith Andrews, 49, faces misdemeanor charges that include disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.

The two men were released after an initial appearance in Federal District Court in Newark, where each was ordered to post a $100,000 bond.

Michael Baldassare, a lawyer for Keith Andrews, said his client “looks forward to addressing these charges and standing with his father.” A lawyer for Richard Andrews did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The father and son are among more than 1,532 people to be charged in connection with the riot, and Richard Andrews is among more than 571 to be charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement officers, according to the Justice Department. They and other supporters of Donald J. Trump stormed the Capitol in a bid to prevent the certification of Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the winner of the 2020 presidential election. The investigation into the day’s events is continuing.
