People at the Edmonton International Airport got more than they expected when they were accidentally exposed to bear spray.
Edmonton RCMP were called to a section of the airport around 8:30 P.M. Saturday, after it was contaminated by the spray.
The area was evacuated causing some disruption to airport operations.
After officers reviewed security footage, it turned out a man had found the container in a nearby garbage bin not knowing what the container was, he than accidentally released some of the spray onto himself and into the air.
One child and three adults, including the man who exposed the spray, had to be treated after suffering effects from the gas.
Investigators don’t believe it was a criminal act and charges won’t be laid.
