Noose reported found in Patterson Park

A noose was found in Patterson Park near the pagoda on Sunday morning, Baltimore police said. Officers were called to the 2300 block of E. Baltimore St. at 11:21 a.m., police spokeswoman Chakia Fennoy said. City Councilman Zeke Cohen said in a tweet Monday that recent hate incidents “cannot go unanswered.” He also referred to two incidents in which Ku Klux Klan fliers were distributed in South Baltimore.

They were expected to finish applying the substance within about 24 hours, he said. “It’s like concrete but not as hard, so you can dig through it if you have to,” Murphy said. “It flows in and fills up nooks and crannies.” Officials have not determined what caused the sinkhole, but ruled out any broken infrastructure that might have leaked and washed away dirt beneath the street. Asked if record precipitation this year might have been a factor, Murphy said heavy rain “often” is to blame for sinkholes.
