Police fired tear gas on protesters in Rochester, New York, on Friday, as hundreds took to the streets to demand justice for Daniel Prude, who died in a hospital in March after being apparently asphyxiated by police officers.
Fresh protests were triggered by the release of a video showing the circumstances of his death.
The video, released on Wednesday, showed police covering Prude's head with a "spit hood" and holding him on the ground before he stopped breathing.
Prude was having a mental health episode on March 23 when his brother Joe called the Rochester Police Department for help.
