Custody death protest turns violent

Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets to demand answers over the police custody death of Freddie Gray.

The demonstration in Baltimore, Maryland, was peaceful for hours, but later pockets of protesters smashed police car windows and shopfronts.

The protests over the death of the 25-year-old black man came a day after deputy police commissioner Kevin Davis said Mr Gray should have received medical attention at the spot where he was arrested, before he was put inside a police van handcuffed and without a seat belt — against force policy.
