George Floyd Protests live: Protester's 'skull showing' after being crushed pulling down Confederate statue

A protester has reportedly been seriously injured while pulling down a Confederate statue in Portsmouth, Virginia.

“There was a gentleman who was directly in front of the statue and when the statue finally did give way it came and fully hit him in the head,” a local Black Lives Matter representative told news reporter Brett Hall.

“You could see his skull was actually showing, he was convulsing on the ground. He lost a fair amount of blood, we’re asking everybody to pray for that man right now.”
