Video shows an older man being shoved by Buffalo police officers Thursday night; the video also shows him bleeding and motionless on the sidewalk.
The incident occurred shortly after the city's 8 p.m. curfew,A Buffalo Police Department spokesman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. WGRZ initially reported that the department said that the man, who has not been identified, was injured after he tripped and fell.“At 8 o’clock ... a large number of police officers appeared. I assume that they wanted to do a sweep and get everybody out and there really weren’t many people,” he said.
A line of officers marched through, and the man, who Desmond said did not appear to be a protester, approached the officers."He walked a little bit, was standing there, and was hit with a club as far as I can tell," Desmond said. “He lost his footing after he was hit, fell back, hit his head on the concrete ... and I could hear his head hit and then within a few seconds, blood started coming out from under his head," the reporter said.
Officials condemned the incident. Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said the video"sickens me," while Gov. Andrew Cuomo called it"wholly unjustified and utterly disgraceful."Tim Stelloh is a reporter for NBC News, based in California.Rima Abdelkader is a senior reporter for Social Newsgathering at NBC News in New York.
