A woman unleashed bear spray at a Lower Manhattan hotel Monday while fighting over luggage with another lady she went to a Pride Week event with — leaving eight people needing medical treatment, cops and sources said.
The unidentified suspect discharged the mace just after 8 a.m. inside a room at the DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown hotel on Stone Street near Whitehall Street, during a spat with a 28-year-old woman, according to police and sources.
The two women, who were staying at the hotel, knew each other and had gone to a Pride event together the night before getting into the tiff over their travel gear, the law-enforcement sources said.
The target of the sprayer’s rampage was evaluated by EMS workers at the scene, along with two other women, ages 53 and 41 and a 78-year-old man, 62-year-old man and 35-year-old man, police said.
It was not immediately clear whether the alleged sprayer stepped out of the room at any point, or how the others were exposed.

Come July first, it’ll finally be over with. Then we can finally celebrate America 250.
When Lem Moon was acquitted of the murder of his wife and Judge Pusey asked him if he had anything to say, he replied: "I never would have shot her if I'd know'd I'd have to go through so much red tape."
I always pack bear spray when I go to an upscale hotel. Not.
Love is love.
Gay men don't have domestic violence tiffs, they just kill and eat other.

That is actually surprising and I am not sure I believe it.

Domestic violence was eight times as high among bisexual persons (32.3 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 16 or older) and more than twice as high among lesbian or gay persons (10.3 per 1,000) as it was among straight persons (4.2 per 1,000).
” gone to a Pride event together the night before getting into the tiff over their travel gear “
tiff? Is that code or something to downplay the violence involved?
travel gear? Must have been the bag containing the ball-gags and dildoes.
Me, either.
LOL! Never have heard that one. ;)
