Baltimore Police Arrest Injured Protester Near Freddie Grey Court Hearing

Protesters gathered outside the Baltimore Circuit Court as the pretrial hearing for the six officers charged in the death of Freddie Grey began Wednesday. BuzzFeed News reporter Darren Sands is in Baltimore.

During the pre-trial hearing, prosecutors and defense lawyers argued on key motions in the case before the Judge Barry Williams, including a request to force Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby to recuse herself from the case and motions on alleged prosecutorial misconduct.

Outside the courthouse, one protester was using a megaphone to talk about getting justice for Gray and how the protests would take a break until 6:30 p.m.

But Rose — a hip hop artist and social activist — grabbed the megaphone and led the protesters on a several-block march toward the Inner Harbor.

Around there, witnesses told BuzzFeed News, he was hit by a car in the street. He was injured.

Police initially handcuffed him and placed him in a van. They later removed him and put him in an ambulance, where he is being treated.
