NY 1 reported:
New Yorkers took to the streets in protest Monday after a Black man was shot by police in Wisconsin Sunday night.
Hundreds of Black Lives Matter marchers started in Times Square and made their way up Fifth Avenue, then down to Washington Square Park before heading along the West Side Highway.
According to the Kenosha Police Department, at 5:11 p.m., Sunday officers were called to the 2800 block of 40th Street in response to a “domestic incident.”
Local police have not yet offered more details on the incident, but witnesses told the Kenosha News that Blake had been on the scene trying to break up a fight between two women.
The widely shared video, which appears to be filmed through a window across the street, shows a man walking toward a car as two officers follow him, weapons drawn. As the man opens the driver’s side door to enter the car, one officer pulls the back of his shirt to stop him and begins to fire. Seven shots can be heard.
Kenosha Police report that the officers provided immediate aid after the shooting.
Blake is in serious condition after being transported to Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, according to police reports.
