A 75-year-old protester who was hospitalised after being shoved to the ground by US police has a fractured skull and is unable to walk, his lawyer has said.
Martin Gugino was captured on video being pushed by officers in Buffalo, New York, during protests in the wake of George Floyd's death.
He was seen bleeding from his head as officers appeared to walk away.
"I am not at liberty to elaborate at this time other than to confirm that his skull was fractured," Mr Gugino's lawyer Kelly Zarcone told CNN in a statement.
"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."
Ms Zarcone confirmed last week that the elderly man had suffered a brain injury.
"As heartbreaking as it is, his brain is injured and he is well aware of that now," Ms Zarcone said in a statement to NBC News.
"He feels encouraged and uplifted by the outpouring of support which he has received from so many people all over the globe. It helps."
Mr Gugino has been described by friends as a retiree and veteran peace activist driven by his faith and a desire for social justice.
He is involved with the Western New York Peace Centre and Latin American Solidarity Committee, the centre's executive director has said.
Officers Aaron Torgalski, 39, and Robert McCabe, 32, have pleaded not guilty to second-degree assault.
The officers, who could face prison sentences of up to seven years if convicted, are due to appear in court on July 20.
