was Possibly injured during arrest.
Lets break it down.

Initial video of Gray's arrest also appeared to depict him in pain as an onlooker shouted that Gray's leg was broken. Police have said autopsy results indicate that Gray did not suffer injuries in areas besides his spine, and police statements related to his arrest have asserted that he was taken into custody "without force or incident"

Notice in the arrest photos he is being supported by offers standing. Of particular note is the low wall and Police bicycle behind him. Now remove that Bicycle on the assumption it was not there at initial Police contact OR the arrest was made to the right of it.

Now put Freddie Grey on the ground and the wall is the perfect height to cause the injuries by being slammed into it by an Officer who was holding him around the throat and him hitting his neck on the corner of it.
