Three officers were hospitalized, the department said. Two had cuts, severe swelling and contusions on their hands and legs, while a third had burns on their neck. All three were later released, officials said.

Joe Prude, the brother of Daniel Prude, could be seen leading demonstrators on Friday. Prude's family is calling for the seven officers involved in his brother's fatal encounter to be fired and criminal charges to be filed.

The seven officers were suspended with pay, Mayor Warren announced Thursday, a day after the release of the body camera footage.

\"That horrific moment was something that I won't wish upon nobody to see. Don't no family member deserve to see their family member there being tortured like that,” Joe Prude told ABC News this week.

Activists are also calling for the resignation of Warren and Rochester Police Chief La'Ron Singletary, and for police to stop using pepper spray and pepper balls on protesters.

Elliot Shield, the attorney representing the Prude family, said the family intends to sue \"everyone responsible for Daniel’s death.\"

\"This incident is only coming to light right now because we requested the body camera footage and all of the police reports under New York's Freedom of Information law,\" said Shield.

Officers responded to a 911 call made by Prude's family on March 23 after they said he was going through a mental health issue. The body camera footage, first obtained by the Democrat and Chronicle, showed several officers approach Prude, who was naked and kneeling on the street.

Prude appears in the video to comply with the officers' orders and questions as they placed him in handcuffs. He began to shout and spit at the officers, who then placed a spit bag over his head, the video showed.

Three officers are then seen pushing Prude to the ground and pinning him while he continues to shout and spit and eventually vomit, according to the video and police report. Prude appears to go lifeless minutes later.

An ambulance is later seen arriving and a paramedic attempts to do CPR before Prude is put on a stretcher and driven away. Prude died a week later. The Monroe County medical examiner declared his death a homicide due to \"complications of asphyxia,\" according to the preliminary autopsy report.

ABC News' Joshua Hoyos and Alondra Valle contributed to this report.
