Police Pepper Spray 4- & 5-yo Kids in Botched Weapons Demonstration
Gwent Police accidentally sprayed a class of four and five year olds with pepper spray at a school in Wales during a botched weapons demonstration.
The weapons were accidentally deployed during a visit from officers to Ysgol Gymraeg Gilfach Fargoed, in Bargoed, Caerphilly, while giving a lesson on police equipment.
The officers were reportedly intending to demonstrate the use of pepper spray using a mock PAVA spray, but accidentally discharged a real canister.
Eight pupils aged four and five were hit with the spray, which causes the eyes to close and is extremely painful.
None of the children required hospital treatment, but parents were urged to seek medical assistance if they had concerns about their children’s welfare.
One parent said that although she was unimpressed with the officers’ conduct, she believed the discharge of chemicals was “a genuine mistake.”
