All 57 members of a police tactical unit in Buffalo, New York, have resigned from that team to protest the suspension of two colleagues who were filmed shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground.

Video of Thursday night's encounter, which happened near the conclusion of protests over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota, quickly sparked public outrage and a protest by city police who felt the officers were being mistreated.

There's fresh outrage tonight over video showing police in Buffalo, New York, pushing a man to the ground, and walking away as he lies bleeding.

It shows a man identified as Martin Gugino approaching a line of helmeted officers holding batons as they clear demonstrators from Niagara Square around the time of an 8pm curfew.

One officer leans down to check on the injured man before he is urged along by another officer.

The man has been hospitalised in a serious condition.
