Maryland Governor Hogan has signed executive order declaring a state of emergency and has activated the National Guard.
At least seven police officers were injured in a clash that began near Mondawmin Mall and spread toward downtown. One officer was unresponsive and others suffered broken bones, police spokesman Capt. Eric Kowalczyk said.
Several people in the group are reported to be armed with sticks, bricks, and other weapons.
