Protests Erupt Because Daniel Prude Took Dangerous Drugs & Died Of Asphyxiation
PROTESTS erupted in upstate New York after shocking video emerged of cops putting a hood over a black man's head before pressing his face into the ground for two minutes.
Daniel Prude - who later died as a result of asphyxiation - was detained by police on March 23 after he was spotted running naked through the streets of Rochester.
After being taken to the ground, the 41-year-old demanded officers remove the spit hood pleading "trying to kill me!".
He passed away after being taken off life support seven days later on March 30 but details of the incident have only just emerged.
The news of the tragedy sparked protests on the streets of Rochester overnight with demonstrators calling for justice outside the Police HQ.
Prude's death was ruled a homicide caused by complications with asphyxiation "in the setting of physical restraint."
Excited delirium and acute intoxication by phencyclidine, or PCP, were also listed as contributing factors by the medical examiner, CBS Chicago reported.
On Wednesday, Prude's family released police body camera footage that showed the moments leading to his eventual death.
Police responded to a 911 call from Prude's brother who said Prude was experiencing a mental health issue.
Prude was originally from Chicago and was visiting Rochester at the time of the incident.
Prude had left his brothers home moments earlier wearing only long underwear, a tank top and socks.
He then began making his way down West Main Street and started taking off his clothes.
