Man checking on neighbour hit with pepper spray

Police say a Good Samaritan who went to check on a neighbour’s well-being after hearing arguing was rewarded with a blast of pepper spray in his face. They say the man heard arguing in the apartment above him early Monday and went to see if a woman who lived there needed assistance. When he arrived and said he’d call police, it’s alleged a man opened the door and pepper sprayed him in the face. A 24-year-old man was arrested and charged with possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon without a licence, and assault with a weapon.
