A Florida neighbourhood watch volunteer who shot an unarmed black teenager had a bloody nose and a cut on his head, according to police reports.

The documents were released to defence lawyers for George Zimmerman, who is accused of second-degree murder over the 26 February killing in Sanford.

The file includes autopsy evidence that traces of a cannabis ingredient were found in Trayvon Martin's system.

Mr Zimmerman, 28, maintains he shot the 17-year-old in self-defence.

He was not arrested for several weeks after the shooting because he invoked Florida's "stand your ground" law, which allows deadly force in the face of a serious threat.
