Water main break closes Baltimore's Hargrove district court building

The John R. Hargrove Sr. building of Baltimore's district court closed shortly after 9 a.m. Tuesday because of a nearby water main break that left the facility without water.

It's unclear when the building,  on the 700 block of E. Patapsco Ave.,  will reopen and resume hearing cases. Bail reviews were transferred to the Borgerding district court location at 5800 Wabash Ave, and other cases were postponed, said judiciary spokeswoman Terri Bolling.

The water main break occurred on the 3600 block of Brooklyn Ave., Bolling said. Check the judiciary web site for updates.
