The man charged with critically injuring a Ferguson Police Officer during a protest is due in court Thursday morning.
The pre-trial conference is set for 9 a.m. Thursday morning in the case against 28-year-old Elijah Gantt. The Ferguson officer whom Gantt is accused of assaulting, Travis Brown, remains hospitalized with a serious brain injury.

Police, including officer Brown, moved in to make arrests after protesters tried to knock over the fence outside of the police department.
