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.".............................................................
