Detective Sgt. Thomas Eberts said police responded at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday to the 500 block of South Huron Street for a report of an assault. Eberts said the man and the woman happened to be at the gas station at the same time.
The woman still holds a grudge against the man and approached him, Eberts said. There was no verbal argument before the woman took out pepper spray and sprayed it directly into the man’s face, Eberts said.
The woman then began hitting the man before getting back in her car and driving away before police arrived on scene, according to Eberts.
Police attempted to contact the woman but were unable and the case has been turned over to the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office for potential charges, Eberts said.
The man refused medical treatment and the investigation into the incident continues.
