Muslim Association of Canada Centre and Adam Palmer

CTV Vancouver: The centre was holding a "Welcome Night" for refugees that evening, and a crowd of people were gathered outside when an unknown man approached on a bicycle, according to CTV. Vancouver Police Chief Adam Palmer said the man then pepper-sprayed the group, causing harm to approximately 15 men, women and children. Officers say the incident happened outside of the Muslim Association of Canada Centre, just after 10:30 p.m. on Friday. Witnesses at the scene described the sudden attack. "I saw people running out of the centre and crying and coughing," a witness named Fatima told CTV Vancouver. "I smell the black pepper. They said nobody was seriously injured. And it did hurt, of course." Paramedics arrived on scene to treat those hit by the spray. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
