Freddie Trowell, age 29, of Bridgeport, was arrested on Saturday, Oct. 23, after police responded to a business on Fairfield Avenue in Bridgeport, according to authorities.
Trowell allegedly entered the unidentified business and sprayed a substance, and ran out, said Scott Appleby, Bridgeport's director of Emergency Management.

One person was transported to the hospital, the others were treated at the scene.
Trowell was nabbed by witness accounts and on-scene video footage.
He was charged with:
- Assault
- Reckless endangerment
- Disorderly conduct
Trowell is being held on a $31,000 bond.
