of mchelgen square. wjz has been live all evening developing on this developing story and mike hellgren has more on these arrests. >> reporter: we can tell you we believe there have been seven arrests and police have threatened to make more. they made quite a show of force. they arrested the people inside this fenced lot. they allowed several of them to go inside and waited while they built a makeshift school building in there. they're protesting a juvenile detention center. then they moved in through the back gate there and took them out one by one while the crowd here was running and several people were screaming and going around the other side. at this point, there are police in riot gear, there are thousands of police out here and it does not appear that the occupy protesters on the outside are going to be moving away any time soon. you can see a live picture so we are waiting and watching for

the possibility of more arrests. >> reporter: police were waiting for more than 70 occupy baltimore demonstrators as they tried to break into a piece of state owned property that will eventually be a juvenile jail. it's a facility the group wants to stop. the police told them that staying here would be too dangerous. >> once we take these folks out, anybody else that comes through the fence, over the fence whatever through that piece of property is going to be arrested. >> we certainly don't want to make any arrests, we open that doesn't occur and we want, again we want them to be able to express their views while respecting the property rights of the state of maryland. and maintaining order and calm and that's what we're here to do. >> reporter: police are not allowing the protesters inside the lot but they are allowing them to bring in some of their materials including these tents that they're trying to bring in. it turned into a bit of chaos

once the protesters marched to the scene. tensions would continue to rise. by 5:30 police started pulling people out and arresting them drawing panic from the crowd gathered here. and we want to show you more video from sky high chopper 13 as those arrests were unfolding. again seven arrests, those who were arrested did not resist. they basically were either sitting down, kind of went limp and the police just came in in groups and took them out. but if we can come back here live to the scene, you can see there are still a number of occupy demonstrators. they have a tent over there that i believe police eventually want them to remove. and there could be some more arrests or the tent could be taken down if they do not. and it's a fluid situation, i mean we've got a lot of police officers here, we have police in riot gear. we have two command posts, both state police and city police are working on this. it's clear that we do not want

them to stay overnight. we will continue to keep an eye on the situation and see what unfolds at this point. these are the first arrests that we have seen during the occupy baltimore movement. reporting live in east baltimore, mike hellgren, wjz eyewitness news. thank you very much mike. occupy baltimore has remained active in several other issues. purple pride shining bright across baltimore today after the ravens great play off win at home. the victory over houston now sends the ravens to new england. wjz is your home for play off run. let's go to sports director mark viviano, he's live at the ravens practice facility where he spoke to the team today. >> reporter: the football season is such a long journey, you can't help but think back to the heat of august and training camp where the ravens first voiced their goal of reaching the super bowl.

and here we are in mid-january and the ravens find themselves one step away from that ultimate prize. yet standing in their way is a team considered the ultimate opponent. the new england patriots. >> reporter: the ravens admit they didn't play great in their home play off win over houston but the defense did take advantage of a rookie qb and used three interceptions to top the texans 20-13. there's no rookie qb in new england. there's tom brady. maybe the best postseason passer in nfl history. and the ravens have immediately shifted their focus to the patriots. >> it's going to be hard and fun at the same time. somebody has to win and somebody has to lose and we both know that. we're coming and they know it. >> we have to come out, we have to control our odds. and we have to allow our first line to eat. go after him, he's a big target back there but he's a target

not favored to win. we'll see you again in sports at 6:00, back to you for now. >> what are the odds makers know, mark, right. it's just gambling. thank you very much. complete cover reasonable continues live downtown, david value court tells us how fans are preparing for tom brady and the patriots. >> there are going to be football watching parties all over maryland this weekend. the fans right now have a lot of energy as their team inches closer and closer to a super bowl. >> there were raven fans then there are ultimate ravens fans like long who brings new meaning to get your head in the game after what was the longest haircut in his life. >> seven hours. women, i know what you go through. >> reporter: t-shirt printers are banking on you liking this one, warning the patriots we're coming for you. all this play off action means christmas in january for some retailers. >> it keeps a lot of store

a lot of ravens fans note this weekend's game is not going to be a walk in the park. but that hasn't stopped some of them from walking a close tame. even i tell my friends and family in new england, the ravens are wicked awesome. >> wicked awesome, is that a phrase you use in new england. >> it's very new england. a body was discovered this morning near annapolis. it happened along chesapeake harbor drive. chopper13 was south of annapolis, an autopsy will now be performed to find out how the person died. police said they found no identification on the body. >> reporter: police are hoping

stress that. but when it initially starts in some of those colder areas north and west of the city it may start as a little bit of sleet before changing into rain. this is why it's going to change over to rain. because there's a really warm push of rain coming with this. we're going up into the 50s tomorrow afternoon. that's why we're talking about rain. initially in a few areas it could start as a mix. it will start over to rain. >> thanks so much. thousands of people took to the streets of baltimore for the city's martin luther king jr. parade. good evening everyone, the streets of downtown were packed with people as more than 50 local organizations participated in today's parade. through music and dance, the city of baltimore celebrateed the life and legacy of dr. martin luther king jr. >> it gives me a feeling of assurance and a feeling of

earlier today we got up to 41. 40 in oakland, 34 is coming up there in cumberland. there's warmer air coming in from the south. but the dewpoints very low, which means air above us is still very dry. even that precept that's showing may not be reaching the ground. a little bit of sleep because temperatures are in the 40s. so north and west of the region and probably between let's say 9:00 and midnight there could be a little touch of sleep before it goes to rain. cumberland just dropped to 32. 39 in ocean city right now. locally temperatures in the mid- to upper 30s. 41-17 today. the average high today is 41 degrees. but the average low at dwi marshal is 34. the records 71 and 53. one above zero, 1893. it's going to bring in that warm air tonight, that's why oakland is still around 40

degrees. southerly wind at 13. cumberland slight northeast wind at six. they just dropped two degrees but they go up back above freezing. and then we're just looking for rain as temperatures will be rising. some rain here up to the west southwest. basically it's a warm front headed our way. behind it temperatures shoot up tomorrow. 10, 15 degrees over to what they were today. we go back up to mild air. here's that rain moving in, overnight, tonight the rain should be done by noon. we may start seeing clearing by later on. the front moving through the area. by wednesday another front that means colder air coming back to the area. it'll be breezy and a lot colder on wednesday. then it will be tomorrow, big changes once again. on the bay tomorrow, that is southwest rim brings the warm air in. up to 25 knots. look for some spotty rain.
