Chicago Police Board President Ghian Foreman said that he was struck by police in the legs multiple times with batons during a protest over the death of George Floyd on the South Side of the city.

Foreman, who was appointed to the police board in 2010, said Friday that while he was on a walk, he “coincidentally” became a bystander to a May 31 protest in Hyde Park “which became confrontational.”
