'He is appreciative of all of the concern about him but he is still focused on the issues rather than himself,' Gugino’s attorney Kelly Zarcone told said.

The video of him being hurt emerged at the height of nationwide protests over police brutality.&nbsp;

It was admonished by leaders but President Trump suggested Gugino had somehow hatched it up as a stunt. He claimed on Twitter, without evidence, that Gugino was an Antifa 'provocateur'.&nbsp;

The president was widely criticized for his remarks.&nbsp;

Among critics was New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo who called it 'reprehensible' and said:&nbsp;'And from the president of the United States at this moment of anguish and anger. He pours gasoline on the fire.&nbsp;

'If there was ever, if he ever feels a moment of decency, he should apologize for that tweet.'&nbsp;

He called it 'wholly unacceptable' and said there was 'Not a piece of proof. Personally disparaging when the man is still in the hospital.&nbsp;'Show some decency, some humanity,' he continued.

Gugino's lawyer previously said he had no connection to Antifa.
