| Freddie Gray protests: second prisoner in Baltimore police van comes forward Posted: 01 May 2015 12:34 AM PDT US city braces for more demonstrations as Donta Allen dismisses reports he told police Gray caused his own injuries A man identifying himself as a key witness to Freddie Gray's death in custody has come forward to reject previous reports suggesting he told investigators the 25-year-old caused his own fatal injuries inside a police van. Donta Allen, interviewed by two TV channels on Thursday, said he was the second prisoner referred to by authorities inside the vehicle with Gray, on 12 April. According to a police timeline, the second prisoner was placed in the vehicle around 20 minutes after Gray was arrested at 1700 Presbury Street, in west Baltimore.
