lol, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.A Black Lives Matter protest turned to tragedy when a statue being toppled landed on the head of a protester, seriously injuring them last night.
Footage shows the fallen Confederate statue on the ground in a large bloodstain, while a crowd of people record on their phones.
A witness recalls the horrific injury left the victim's "skull showing" after the demonstration in Portsmouth, Virginia, US.
"There were individuals at the front, they were pulling and working at the legs for some time and trying to get it down," a Black Lives Matter representative tells a Wavy.com reporter live at the scene.
He adds: "And there was a gentleman who was directly in front of the statue and when the statue finally did give way it came and fully hit him in the head.
“You could see his skull was actually showing, he was convulsing on the ground.
“He lost a fair amount of blood."
