Child targeted other kids on Rideau Street
The Whig Standard reports that on Sunday evening, September 22, 2024, a troubling incident unfolded on Rideau Street in Kingston.
Around 6:50 p.m., multiple first responders arrived at a housing complex in the 200 block after reports of a child spraying bear mace or pepper spray.
A video circulating online shows a group of children playing when a fourth child approaches and sprays them with a liquid. The victims immediately screamed and ran away, trying to claw the substance from their eyes.
Adults quickly intervened and called for police assistance.
