A man shot by police at a protest in Ferguson marking the first anniversary of the death of Michael Brown has been named by local media as Tyrone Harris, 20.

Harris was critically injured during a stand-off with four plain-clothed police officers on West Florissant Avenue in the Missouri city. The incident followed a peaceful march to mark a year since a white police officer shot and killed the unarmed black teenager.

Harris' father told the St Louis Dispatch that he was "real close" to Michael Brown.
