BALTIMORE (WBFF) — The trial of two Baltimore Police officers accused of misconduct in a 2025 police chase was postponed Tuesday after prosecutors said a witness didn’t show and the defense raised questions about potentially exculpatory evidence.
Officers Menachem Rosenbloom and Mordechai Mandelbaum both face charges in connection with a June 2025 police chase near Johnston Square. According to their indictments, during a foot chase in which Mandelbaum tripped and fell on the sidewalk, Rosenbloom radioed that the suspect had kicked Mandelbaum down.
Authorities said Rosenbloom proceeded to pepper-spray the suspect four times. Three of those times, the indictment alleges, were while the suspect was on the ground.
In follow-up conversations and reports, authorities said, the two officers — who have since been suspended — lied about what happened during the chase.
