Massive March in New York Demanding Justice for Freddie Gray and Other Victims of Police Violence
‘More than 1, 500 protesters marched through the streets of New York City Friday evening after six Baltimore officers involved in Freddie Gray’s arrest were charged in his death earlier in the day. “May Day for Freddie Gray! May Day for Freddie Gray!” chanted throughout the three-hour long march from Union Square to Foley Square.
At least one man was arrested near Union Square after he jumped a barricade. “I’ll be back,” the man said as officers walked him off in handcuffs and hundreds of onlookers cheered him on. Several bottles were thrown at officers outside the barricades moments later, with one bursting near them after hitting the ground. Outside of that, there were no major conflicts between officers and protesters.’
