Protesters angry over the death of Freddie Gray continue to confront police in downtown Baltimore near Camden Yards, the city's famed baseball stadium.
Earlier Saturday night, some of the hundreds who stood before lines of police officers got into shoving matches with helmeted cops while other demonstrators threw objects. At least five police cars were damaged by people who smashed windows and jumped on them.
Twelve people were arrested, Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said.
The skirmishes followed a planned demonstration over how police handled the arrest of Gray, a 25-year-old Baltimore man who suffered a spinal injury at some point after he was detained by police on April 12 and died a week later.
