Protests over the death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis took place in Brooklyn, New York, on Friday night.

Videos shot during the protest captured a police van on fire and a police officer pushing a woman to the ground near Brooklyn's Fort Green neighborhood.

Floyd died on Monday after a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into Floyd's neck, leading to unrest in dozens of cities nationwide.

The officer was charged Friday with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
