 Baltimore police said Wednesday that their internal report into the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old African-American man who died in police custody this month, wouldn't be made public. 
  
 Police Commissioner Anthony Batts had set a deadline of Friday to file the report with state investigators, leading to hopes among activists and Gray's family that more details of his death from a spinal injury would emerge. Investigators haven't said how Gray was injured. 
  
 Baltimore police Capt. Eric Kowalczyk said Wednesday night that the report would remain sealed to protect the integrity of the inquiry. He said Batts' deadline was his way of "saying we were going to move with a sense of urgency." 
  
 Kowalczyk said he understood that "as we've gotten closer to that date, the concern and the questions have begun to build up." But he said on MSNBC-TV's "The Last Word": "There is evidence that has to be preserved, so we have tried to find the balance of releasing as much information as we can. For us right now, it's about conducting an accurate, timely investigation." 
  
 The most important thing, he said, is to ensure that "the evidence is saved for any kind of prosecution that may or may not happen." 
  
 "We want answers in this case, but we want to make sure it's done correctly," he said.

 SOCIAL ||||| Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said Wednesday she's working with Freddie Gray's family and faith leaders to clear up "misinformation" that could lead to further unrest. 
  
 Outside a church in West Baltimore, the mayor stood with Hassan Murphy, a lawyer for the Gray family, and the Rev. Jamal H. Bryant to discuss efforts to push for peace this week. 
  
 The group addressed reporters after meeting in a confidential session to discuss plans to prepare for Friday, a date when some in the city may believe information will be released about Gray's death. 
  
 The police department is expected on that day to complete its investigation into fatal injuries Gray suffered while in police custody. The 25-year-old died earlier this month, but little has been said about the circumstances that led to his arrest and subsequent death. 
  
 Murphy said Gray's family called on the mayor Wednesday to convene a meeting of the leadership of the city. The group was also joined by Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts, Public Works director Rudy Chow and others. 
  
 "We are grateful to her for being here and sharing with us what the plans are for the next several days to assure us all that this city is in great hands," Murphy said. "We stand by our mayor. The family stands by our mayor." 
  
 Murphy said Gray's family, which has been calling for peace, wants the investigation "to be carried out in a way that gets us to the right result, and not necessarily one that is rushed." 
  
 "This family wants justice and they want justice that comes at the right time, not too soon," Murphy said. 
  
 Rawlings-Blake said she's concerned about misinformation that's been spreading about what information may be available Friday. Batts stated early on that the Police Department would conclude its report then, and hand the findings over to prosecutors for potential charges. It's been unclear what, if anything, will be made public then. 
  
 "I had a chance to really lay some things on the line with them, answer questions," the mayor said of the meeting. "I thought it was very important for us to have a conversation about how we just don't seek justice but we make a pathway forward to have justice and peace." 
  
 She said she was grateful for the meeting and "the honesty" that was shared during it. 
  
 Bryant, a leading voice in the community working toward peace, said the meeting "under the cloak" of confidentiality helped ease fears. 
  
 The information shared also will allow those in attendance to be the mayor's "ambassadors going forward." 
  
 Bryant said he spent most of the morning going to high schools to address rumors that a verdict is due out Friday. 
  
 "It is our responsibility to make sure that misinformation is corrected," Bryant said. "The community is going to stand in lock step on Friday so that we do not have a repeat of what it is we saw on Monday." 
  
 Bryant said everyone in the city should work together for peace. 
  
 "It is our allegiance to the community that the world is going to see a better Baltimore than what we saw on Monday night," he said. 
  
 Earlier, Kevin Harris, a spokesman for Rawlings-Blake, said he is not expecting any charges to be announced Friday. 
  
 "What [the mayor is] hoping for Friday is to be able to turn over a solid and thorough investigation to the state's attorney's office, but also to be able to share any additional facts and details to the public that could shine some light on this. 
  
 "We don't know yet how far we'll be able to go or how much we'll be able to do, but that is our hope." 
  
 Harris said the state's attorney's investigation isn't starting Friday when they get the documents. It's been ongoing, he said. ||||| Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly described the prisoner in the van as a 38-year-old man accused of violating a protective order. This version has been corrected. The Post also has updated this story to add comments from the prisoner, 22-year-old Donta Allen, and to reflect charges filed against the police officers.

 A prisoner sharing a police transport van with Freddie Gray told investigators that he could hear Gray “banging against the walls” of the vehicle and believed that he “was intentionally trying to injure himself,” according to a police document obtained by The Washington Post. 
  
 The prisoner was separated from Gray by a metal partition and could not see him. His statement is contained in an application for a search warrant, which is sealed by the court. The Post was given the document under the condition that the prisoner not be named because the person who provided it feared for the inmate’s safety. But the prisoner, Donta Allen, 22, later spoke to the media, including The Post, and allowed himself to be identified. 
  
 In a phone interview, Allen said he had been in the van with Gray and told police he heard “light banging.” He said the police report incorrectly characterized his statements to authorities and that he “never ever said to police that [Gray] was hurting himself.” 
  
 Allen, who is on probation for an armed robbery conviction, declined to comment further. 
  
 The document, written by a Baltimore police investigator, offers the first glimpse of what might have happened inside the van. It is not clear whether any additional evidence backs up the prisoner’s version, which is just one piece of a much larger probe.

 Prosecutors on May 1 announced they had charged six officers in connection with Gray’s death. One officer faces a second-degree murder charge, three others are charged with manslaughter. The remaining two face charges including second-degree assault and misconduct in office.

 Gray was found unconscious in the wagon when it arrived at a police station on April 12. The 25-year-old had suffered a spinal injury and died a week later, touching off waves of protests across Baltimore, capped by a riot Monday in which hundreds of angry residents torched buildings, looted stores and pelted police officers with rocks. 
  
 Police have said they do not know whether Gray was injured during the arrest or during his 30-minute ride in the van. Local police and the U.S. Justice Department both have launched investigations of Gray’s death. 
  
 Jason Downs, one of the attorneys for the Gray family, said the family had not been told of the prisoner’s comments to investigators. 
  
 “We disagree with any implication that Freddie Gray severed his own spinal cord,” Downs said. “We question the accuracy of the police reports we’ve seen thus far, including the police report that says Mr. Gray was arrested without force or incident.”

 Capt. Eric Kowalczyk, chief spokesman for the Baltimore Police Department, declined to comment on the affidavit, citing the ongoing investigation. The person who provided the document did so on condition of anonymity. 
  
 The affidavit is part of a search warrant seeking the seizure of the uniform worn by one of the officers involved in Gray’s arrest or transport. It does not say how many officers were in the van, whether any reported that they heard banging or whether they would have been able to help Gray if he was seeking to injure himself. Police have mentioned only two prisoners in the van. 
  
 Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts has admitted flaws in the way officers handled Gray after they chased him through a West Baltimore housing project and arrested him. They said they later found a switchblade clipped to the inside of his pants. Batts has said officers repeatedly ignored Gray’s pleas for medical help and failed to secure him with a safety belt or harness in the back of the transport van. 
  
 Video shot by several bystanders has fueled the rage in West Baltimore. It shows two officers on top of Gray, putting their knees in his back, then dragging his seemingly limp body to the van as he cries out. 
  
 Batts has said Gray stood on one leg and climbed into the van on his own. 
  
 The van driver stopped three times while transporting Gray to a booking center, the first to put him in leg irons. Batts said the officer driving the van described Gray as “irate.” The search warrant application says Gray “continued to be combative in the police wagon.” 
  
 The driver made a second stop, five minutes later, and asked an officer to help check on Gray. At that stop, police have said the van driver found Gray on the floor of the van and put him back on the seat, still without restraints. Police said Gray asked for medical help at that point. 
  
 The third stop was to put the other prisoner into the van. The van was then driven six blocks to the Western District station. Gray was taken from there to a hospital, where he died April 19. 
  
 Batts has said officers violated policy by failing to properly restrain Gray. But the president of the Baltimore police union noted that the policy mandating seat belts took effect April 3 and was e-mailed to officers as part of a package of five policy changes on April 9, three days before Gray was arrested. 
  
 Gene Ryan, the police union president, said many officers aren’t reading the new policies — updated to meet new national standards — because they think they’re the same rules they already know, with cosmetic changes. The updates are supposed to be read out during pre-shift meetings. 
  
 The previous policy was written in 1997, when the department used smaller, boxier wagons that officers called “ice cream trucks.” They originally had a metal bar that prisoners had to hold during the ride. Seat belts were added later, but the policy made their use discretionary. 
  
 Ryan said that until all facts become clear, he “urged everyone not to rush to judgment. The facts as presented will speak for themselves. I just wish everyone would take a step back and a deep breath, and let the investigation unfold.” 
  
 The search warrant application says that detectives at the time did not know where the officer’s uniform was located and that they wanted his department-issued long-sleeve shirts, pants and black boots or shoes. The document says investigators think that Gray’s DNA might be found on the officer’s clothes.

Output:
A weird twist in the Freddie Gray case: A prisoner being transported in the police van in which the Baltimore man suffered a fatal spinal injury says he could hear Gray banging on the walls and thought he "was intentionally trying to injure himself," according to a statement on a search warrant obtained by the Washington Post. But the prisoner couldn't actually see Gray, and a lawyer for the family says they have not been told about the unidentified prisoner's statement. "We disagree with any implication that Freddie Gray severed his own spinal cord," the lawyer tells the Post. "We question the accuracy of the police reports we've seen thus far, including the police report that says Mr. Gray was arrested without force or incident." According to the Post's timeline of events, the prisoner who says he heard Gray banging on the walls was in the van for the last six blocks of the ride to the police station—after Gray, who was handcuffed and wasn't wearing a seat belt, had already asked for medical help. Six Baltimore police officers have been suspended over the death and police plan to turn the results of their investigation over to prosecutors on Friday. NBC News reports the report won't be made public. As Capt. Eric Kowalczyk put it: "There is evidence that has to be preserved, so we have tried to find the balance of releasing as much information as we can." The mayor's office has said it hopes police will "share any additional facts and details to the public that could shine some light on this," reports the Baltimore Sun.
