Police have arrested a 50-year-old man in connection with
an incident that happened Thursday, August 17, near Florence's Duomo,
Italy in which a Nigerian man complained of being attacked with pepper
spray during a fight.
The alleged attacker, a Florentine man claims that the
Nigerian man was bothering female tourists with persistent questions,
possibly asking for money.
The Florentine said that he had asked the Nigerian to stop
and was verbally attacked in response, and thus used the pepper spray to
protect himself.
The pepper spray is not among those available legally in
Italy. Police have reported the man for aggravated bodily harm and for
carrying objects to be used as weapons, since he was carrying a small
knife as well as the pepper spray.
