The 75-year-old protester who was pushed by an officer during a demonstration in Buffalo, New York, is not able to walk, according to his attorney.

“I am not at liberty to elaborate at this time other than to confirm that his skull was fractured. While he is not able to walk yet, we were able to have a short conversation before he became too tired. He is appreciative of all of the concern about him but he is still focused on the issues rather than himself,” Martin Gugino’s attorney, Kelly Zarcone, told CNN in a statement.
