An "historic moment" from the George Floyd protests has gone viral showing a young white protester throwing herself between a kneeling African-American man and police.
Peaceful and violent protests have raged for eight days across the US, sparked by the horrific killing of African-American man George Floyd by white police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis.
There have been heated demonstrations in more than 100 cities, which have spiralled into widespread looting, violence and clashes between police and protesters. There have also been officers and civilians killed as the violence continues to escalate.
The unfolding scenes of chaos have ripped apart the veneer of civility in America, but moments of kindness are emerging from the chaos.
"I will never forget this moment," NCB reporter Shomari Stone wrote on Twitter, sharing a video of the incident on Sunday.
