NEW YORK: Thousands of people marched on the streets from Baltimore, Boston, New York to Indianapolis and Washington DC on Wednesday to protest against the death of Freddie Gray and to demand reforms to police procedures.

Over 60 people were arrested in New York and 16 in Baltimore. The protests were mostly peaceful.

But while another night under curfew passed with no major disturbances, Baltimore officials are now trying to manage growing expectations they will immediately decide whether to prosecute six police officers involved in the arrest of Gray, who died of spinal injuries he apparently received while in custody.
