“911 firefighters, police and paramedics were deployed. When the authorities arrived, the vulnerable people were already evacuated outside the premises,” he said.

A significant number of customers found their popcorn garland ruined and had to evacuate the premises.

However, only “a few” had cayenne pepper-related symptoms, Ms. Tupac says.

None of them were seriously injured.

The Montreal Fire Department (SIM) is conducting on-site checks to understand what material was sprayed.
