BALTIMORE — Late Saturday night, Baltimore police declared an unlawful assembly in Fells Point, dispersing a crowd of over 1,000 young individuals congregating near Thames Street and South Broadway.
The gathering took place close to the Fells Point Broadway Pier and the Fells Point Farmers Market, prompting police action amid heightened concerns regarding public safety in the neighborhood.
Despite the dispersal, no immediate injuries or arrests were reported in connection with the incident. This event follows a pattern of large gatherings in the area, which have raised alarms among local officials and residents.
Earlier that same Saturday, a 16-year-old was apprehended after discharging a firearm near Broadway Market, highlighting ongoing safety challenges in the vicinity. Last weekend, Fells Point also witnessed significant crowds, resulting in multiple disorderly conduct complaints and at least one arrest.
Concerns about public safety have been exacerbated by violent incidents, including a shooting that occurred in the 400 block of South Broadway on June 13, where a 31-year-old man was injured.
As city leaders and law enforcement continue to monitor the situation, the recent events in Fells Point underscore the need for proactive measures to address the rising tensions and ensure community safety.
