CNN reported on Monday that 75-year-old protester Martin Gugino, the elderly man who was pushed to the ground by two Buffalo police officers, suffered a fractured skull and is unable to walk at the moment, according to his lawyer.
“I am not at liberty to elaborate at this time other than to confirm that his skull was fractured,” Gugino’s attorney Kelly Zarcone said. “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.”
Zarcone also delivered a statement that came from Gugino himself: “I think it’s very unnecessary to focus on me. There are plenty of other things to think about besides me.”
“Barring something unusual and unforeseen, I don’t expect much change at all this week,” Zarcone said about Gugino’s injuries.

As CNN notes, “Gugino became the focus of a conspiracy theory pushed by One America News Network and President Donald Trump that suggested the 75-year-old was an ‘ANTIFA provocateur’ and that his serious injury ‘could be a set up.'”
