The people involved in the fight weren’t there when officers arrived.
The hotel was evacuated due to the fumes from the pepper spray.
A member of the hotel’s staff told Global News that they experienced a burning sensation in their nose and throat.
No serious injuries were reported and the Fredericton fire department was forced to use large fans to ventilate.
Police say they don’t believe the incident was random and they’re asking anyone with information to contact them.
