Another prisoner believes Freddie Gray tried to injure himself, report says







A fellow prisoner said Freddie Gray was banging against the walls of the Baltimore Police van that was transporting him and was deliberately seeking to hurt himself, the Washington Post reported.

According to a police document obtained by the Post, the fellow prisoner couldn’t see Gray because of a metal partition.

But he could listen and he told police he heard Gray “banging against the walls” and could tell that he “was intentionally trying to injure himself.”

It isn’t clear how much other evidence backs up the prisoner’s account of the 30-minute van ride. The document was written by a Baltimore police investigator... Gray was found unconscious in the van and died of spinal injuries a week later.
