At around 1:50 a.m., the 32-year-old got into an argument with two women (17, 32) and a man (30), police said.

“In the course of the incident, he sprayed tear gas in the direction of the others,” it continued. The three victims suffered eye irritation and were given medical treatment on site.

The 32-year-old Moroccan is now being investigated for assault. “When he was checked, it turned out that there was an arrest warrant against him,” said the police.

Since he could not pay the required fine, he had to be taken to a correctional facility.

The 30-year-old was also reported for violating the narcotics law. The Tunisian had a container of white powder with him.
