Over 50 people were injured during an evening New York City “pride” parade Sunday — thanks to a man armed with bear deterrent spray.
The “pride” event at NYC’s Washington Square Park fell into disarray when the man unleashed the spray into a crowd at 7:45 p.m., triggering a stampede, according to Gothamist.
“Officials said many of the revelers were left suffering from pain and redness to the face,” the NYC-based news source reported. One man, Dominick Sabater, was taken into custody.
