Dontae Melton Jr., 31, of Baltimore, suffered a mental health crisis.
Body camera video showed Melton erratically walk into the intersection of West Franklin Street and North Franklintown Road. He approached and told a police officer that he thought someone was following him.
The officer tried to get Melton out of the street and onto the sidewalk, at which time a scuffle occurred.
