Police and protesters have clashed for a second night in the US city of Minneapolis after an unarmed black man died in police custody.

BBC News reports tear gas was fired by police, while protesters threw rocks and sprayed graffiti.

Businesses were also looted.

46-year-old George Floyd died on Monday, and video showed him gasping for breath as a white policeman knelt on his neck.

There have also been protests in Chicago, Illinois, Los Angeles, California, and Memphis, Tennessee.

The incident echoes the case of Eric Garner, who was placed in a police chokehold in New York in 2014.

His death became a rallying cry against police brutality and a catalyst in the Black Lives Matter movement.
