10 juveniles were among at least 65 people arrested in Baltimore following demonstrations on Saturdaynight against police brutality around part of Interstate 83.
According to initial reports, only 20 people were arrested until police put the actual number of those arrested to 65 saying they were charged with failure to obey and illegally walking on a highway.
While blocking Interstate 83, protesters chanted “hands up, don’t shoot.” One participant carried a “Black Lives Matter” sign, while another wore a shirt that read “I am Freddie Gray,” referring to a man who was fatally injured in the back of a police van last year, prompting protests and rioting.
