The 75-year-old protester pushed by Buffalo police in front of City Hall last week, triggering international criticism, suffered a fractured skull, his attorney said Friday.
Martin Gugino is not yet able to walk and became tired Friday after a "short conversation," attorney Kelly V. Zarcone said in an emailed statement.
"He is appreciative of all the concern about him, but he is still focused on the issues rather than himself," Zarcone said.
A friend of Gugino's said Tuesday he had been moved out of the intensive care unit at Erie County Medical Center. On Wednesday, his attorney said she expected he would be moved to a rehabilitation floor at the hospital.
Police in riot gear pushed Gugino, a longtime peace activist from Amherst, as they cleared Niagara Square just after a curfew went into effect on the evening of June 4.
