Nine customers had to be treated on scene for eye and skin irritation.
No one was hospitalized.
An unnamed 21-year-old St. Catharines man was charged with administering a noxious substance.

Pepper spray ain't fun, even with proper treatment it'll ruin your next couple days. I feel sorry for those who try to wash off that stuff in the shower while standing up & only succeed in rinsing the compound onto their family jewels. >_<
Unless you're that occasional oddball of nature that is genetically not affected by it & is fine in a couple hours. Even worse if you're allergic and get permanent eye damage.

The patron must have panicked when he saw the strippers getting bear.

"Nine customers had to be treated on scene for eye and skin irritation."
I heard about two dancers getting into a chick fight at a club. One girl tried to pepper-spray the other dancer. The fumes got into the ventilation system and they had to close the club when people started having reactions, lol. I was there the next night and the place was still kinda funky.
They fired the dancer, but later hired her back. She was a good kid, just a little high strung, lol.

steve, at the exploration camp pepper spray is available in all vehicles and on all rigs.
I could have used the stuff about 30 years ago when my Nodwell was charged by a cranky sow grizzly - easily the most terrifying experience of my life.

Famous quote from "Casino"
"No matter how big a guy might be, Nicky would take him on. You beat Nicky with fists, he comes back with a bat. You beat him with a knife, he comes back with a gun. And you beat him with a gun, you better kill him, because he’ll keep comin’ back and back until one of you is dead."
What does Nicky bring if you bring bear spray?

Bear spray - that shit don't come in a little bottle - it's like a can! That had to be quite the scene after releasing that in a building.
I wonder if releasing a noxious charge is a lesser crime than fighting though.
(I do think it could be pretty entertaining though.)

That could have turned into a grizzly situation...

I'm surprised any one was at a strip club.
I thought all Canadians stayed home and watched hockey during the NHL playoffs.
