A lawyer for Martin Gugino—the 75-year-old man who was pushed by an officer in Buffalo amid demonstrations—said on Thursday that his client has suffered a brain injury.

“As most of you know, Martin is a soft-spoken but thoughtful and principled man. As heartbreaking as it is, his brain is injured and he is well aware of that now,” attorney Kelly Zarcone said in a statement to several news outlets.
