Балтимор е опустошен след нощните погроми, въведено е извънредно положение

Armed riot police secured the area surrounding Mount Street in Baltimore in the early hours of Tuesday morning, after clashes broke out late Monday between anti-police brutality protesters and authorities over the death of Freddie Gray. With buildings set on fire and severely damaged in the area, firefighters battled blazes as police erected cordons and stood guard. Violence broke out just hours after the funeral of 25-year-old Gray, who died in police custody on April 19 2015, after suffering severe spinal injuries. Authorities have now declared a state-of-emergency in Baltimore, imposing a 10pm to 5am local time curfew that will last for at least a week. The National Guard have also been activated and are reportedly en route to the area in armoured vehicles.
