WASHINGTON — Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake had a large cup of water thrown on her Saturday at a community event at the location where violence erupted in the city in April.
Police have arrested Lacheisa Pailin-Sheffer, 37, of Baltimore and charged her with second-degree assault. The mayor was not hurt, NBC 4 Washington reports.
In April, people took to the streets in Baltimore to protest the death of Freddie Gray in police custody. On April 27, the protests grew violent in the neighborhood near Mondawmin Mall.
The protests erupted into riots and looting that led the state of Maryland to declare martial law in the city. The Baltimore Sun has photos of the incident.
