Suspended Buffalo police officers who shoved elderly protester expected to be charged today

The two police officers suspended after video emerged of them shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground are expected to be charged on Saturday.

Sources tell WGRZ that the officers from the Emergency Response Team will be joined by others who served with them when they go to court in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday morning.

The incident took place on Thursday during a protest against the death of George Floyd outside Buffalo City Hall.

Martin Gugino struck his head on the pavement when he fell. The video shows blood pooling around his head. He is recovering in hospital.
