Orlando Redd: Minivan Hits Woman, Fells Point, Baltimore, February 6, 2016
A woman was seriously injured when a minivan driven by Orlando Redd reversed onto a sidewalk in Fells Point, Baltimore, about 2:15 a.m. on February 6, 2016, following a bar fight. Police said a group of men was attacking Redd and he tried to escape in his minivan. He rammed a stopped car on the 700 block of South Broadway, then reversed onto the sidewalk, striking a building and the woman as she left a bar. Her injuries included skull fractures, broken ribs and a pelvic injury. She was reported in serious but stable condition. Police caught Redd a few blocks away. Video recorded from above the street shows crowds around the vehicles and emergency responders arriving. Redd was charged with assault and reckless endangerment. At trial, a judge dismissed the first-degree assault count involving the injured woman. The jury deadlocked, prompting a mistrial; the remaining charges were still pending at that time. |

Re: Orlando Redd: Minivan Hits Woman, Fells Point, Baltimore, February 6, 2016
An assault that started in a Baltimore bar early Saturday morning made its way out onto the street, resulting in a minivan driver speeding into other vehicles and at least one person along the sidewalk. The incident occurred at around 2:15 a.m. on Saturday morning. In a harrowing 17-minute video of the incident, in which the chaotic scene unfolds fairly early: According to The Baltimore Sun, police identified the suspect driving the van in the incident as 37-year-old Orlando Redd. It happened in Fells Point, an area in which the Sun reports an unrelated triple shooting occurred earlier that day. Upon investigation, police believe the suspected driver, Redd, was victim to an assault in a bar on the street and was under the influence of alcohol. Smith added that Redd is in custody and will receive a “myriad of charges,” though police are currently unable to identify his attackers. Smith said the charges are all traffic-related as of right now, and the department will partner with state attorney’s office to press additional charges. A woman exiting a bar on the street is the only reported injury from the scene, and Smith added that police took a suspect into custody after finding him a few blocks away. Smith said she is in serious but stable condition at a local hospital. “That female, right now, is in serious condition with multiple traumas to her body—including her pelvis, broken ribs, multiple fractures to her skull, a laceration to her hip and bruised lung,” Smith said in the briefing. Smith said police do know about the event and that the investigation is still underway. |
