\n A protester was seriously injured in Virginia this week when a Confederate statue he helped tear down toppled on top of him, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The man, believed to be in his 30s, was part of a group of demonstrators Wednesday night trying to take down the Confederate Monument in Portsmouth, WAVY reported.<\/p>\n

Protesters were seen hitting the 35-foot tall granite obelisk with a sledgehammer and using ropes to pull it off its pedestal before it fell directly on him, knocking him unconscious, the report said.<\/p>\n

A local organizer, who witnessed the scene, said the man was bleeding and his skull was exposed from the injury, WAVY reported.<\/p>\n

Demonstrators stopped to offer prayers for the man, as cops told them they needed to leave, the Virginia Pilot reported.<\/p>\n

The man was taken to the hospital, where his condition is unknown, according to the reports.<\/p>\n

Protesters gathered at the Confederate monument Wednesday after city lawmakers decided to delay a decision over moving the structure, according to the outlets.<\/p>\n

The monument sits at a site where slaves were punished on a whipping post, the news<\/a>paper reported.<\/p>\n

Cities across the country have called for the removal of Confederate monuments amid Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd, a black man in Minneapolis who died after a white cop pressed his knee into his neck for several minutes.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
