Report: Four more arrested on Baltimore curfew violations

WASHINGTON — Four more people were arrested in Baltimore shortly before 4 a.m. Wednesday, during the first night of the city’s curfew in response to Monday’s rioting.

The four were put in flex cuffs and sat on the sidewalk at Pennsylvania and North avenues, near the well-known burned-out CVS store, while officers asked what they were doing out at that hour, The Washington Post reports.

No one is allowed on the streets of Baltimore between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.

The Post adds that two men were stopped by the police at about 3 a.m. and were asked what they were doing out as well. The Post says they were released, and described their interaction with the city police as “cool,” but said that National Guardsmen patrolling the streets were “the strict ones. They’re out here ready for war.”
