Patrons of Leopold鈥檚 Tavern got more than a pint of beer Monday night when someone allegedly deployed bear spray outside of the pub.
The irritant wafted in through the tavern鈥檚 open doors causing customers鈥� eyes and noses to sting.
Several people had to leave the establishment as they couldn鈥檛 stop coughing after the incident.
According to those on the scene, police arrived shortly after 9 p.m. and told them a man had allegedly deployed a substance believed to be bear spray and they were looking for the suspect.
The suspect was described as wearing camouflage pants, a white hoodie and a black hat and was last seen on Bernard Avenue near the Sails.
It鈥檚 unclear what caused the man to allegedly use the bear spray.
