Witness: Freddie Gray yelled 'I cannot breathe'

Investigators are still piecing together what took place on the morning of April 12, when 25-year-old Gray was arrested, and later died from a spinal cord injury sustained in police custody. But Harold Perry says he was at home watching TV, when he heard the commotion outside his door. "'Why are you holding me? Why are you grabbing me? I haven't done anything. Let me go.' That's the first thing I heard," he recalled.
