Hi
I saw your Reuters article referencing the a video of the injury in Oakland during the police action. After watching the street level video that has been circulating I watched this aerial perspective, linked below, that may show the same incident from a Fox News helicopter. It lloks like a projectile can be seen at about second :36 and a person remains in the path that it takes. Subsequently the crowd can be seen gathering around and then being dispersed again by the explosion.
I thought there might be some more information available from this video:
thanks for your reporting
