A Baltimore City police officer is still fighting for his life after being dragged by a car during a traffic stop.
On Wednesday, a heavy police presence in West Baltimore is believed to be related to that incident. A person was just taken into custody following what police described as a “possible barricade situation” on Druid Hill Avenue.
The whole area was blocked off by SWAT teams Wednesday morning. As of noon, detectives were still on the scene.
WJZ has learned from sources that this thing may be connected to a an incident Tuesday night where a sergeant was hit during a traffic stop and dragged about two blocks. The driver of the vehicle hit another car along the way before escaping.
The officer was taken to Shock Trauma to receive treatment for his injuries and is on full life support.
Baltimore police said last night they had good leads on the suspect. They’re asking for prayers from the community
