A live televised interview with Democratic mayoral hopeful Sheila Dixon was stopped on Wednesday after an unidentified individual began hurling objects at the Baltimore politician and heckling her, within her own home.

Footage was posted on TikTok where it was widely viewed, with one clip accumulating 860 comments, most of which expressed sympathy with Dixon over the situation.

According to local news website The Baltimore Banner, Dixon had a cold during the interview, and she spoke with a distinctly croaky voice throughout. The former mayor was promoting a public safety town hall due to take place later that day in South Baltimore, hosted by her along with WBFF Fox45 and local Councilman Eric Costello.

Asked about residents "biggest concerns" over crime Dixon responded: "So three things. One people don't feel safe, people are afraid. Carjackings, theft, stealing cars, and people want to see the presence of officers in their community engaged with them, walking the beat, talking to them, getting to know the residents and that's not happening."


At this point an item, which appeared to be an article of clothing, flew by Dixon's face slightly brushing her. Appearing unperturbed, she continued: "Yesterday I saw police officers that were in an area, but they were in their cars, not doing what they need to do.".............................................................

Unless I missed it, the article does not say how the male came to be in her home.

1. Gee! I hope that they put in an anti-stalker edict/ruling for her protection.

[sinkingfeeling]

2. Strange, as if she knew the male throwing things at her.

[FredGarvin]

7. Father, husband or son?

The presser was in her own livingroom

[marble falls]

3. The actions people feel entitled to do.

[Prairie Gates]

4. Weird headline: the fact that she's a Democrat seems complete immaterial to the story

[FredGarvin]

6. Clickbait

imo

[Kennah]

9. She has a corruption history

[Prairie Gates]

12. Uh, what?

How is that a response to my post?

[Kennah]

13. I suspect the headline is because of her corruption history

17. Accusations like yours should never be Post-and-Run, esp with NO evidence

Back it up with credible links.

5. Probably a family member

8. This was menat to humiliate but not injure her

and it's most likely some man who's terrified of having to take care of himself.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

10. It's not difficult for outsiders to slip into interviews like these

Ms Dixon probably didn't know all of the news crew, so if some rando nutbar slipped in, she might not be any the wiser. Meanwhile, the telly people are usually too busy to ask if the nutbar is a friend or neighbour. If they notice the person at all.

11. It was a video call - there was no crew there.

14. DAMN!

[IbogaProject]

15. Maybe a family member who has a developmental disability or autism?

That would explain her ignoring it. I'm assuming that without more info or criminal charges.
