Video filmed by local radio station WBFO shows the man, identified as Martin Gugino by the group People United for Sustainable Housing Buffalo, stopping to talk to police in riot gear as they begin to clear Niagara Square for the 8 p.m. curfew. As an officer yells “push him back,” one officer extends his arm to shove Gugino, while another pushes a baton into his chest.
Buffalo police initially released a statement saying that a person “was injured when he tripped & fell,” though it’s clear from the video that isn’t what happened. After the video went viral on social media, Mayor Brown released a statement saying he was “deeply disturbed” by the footage. Buffalo police commissioner Byron Lockwood suspended two officers, who the department has declined to name, and launched an internal affairs investigation.
