The victim told police the man, whom he identified as a friend, confronted him on the third floor of the mall and pulled out a small canister, spraying him. Police haven't determined whether it was mace or pepper spray. 

Emergency responders evaluated about a half dozen people affected by the spray, including a pregnant woman, who was transported to The Johns Hopkins Hospital as a precaution. 

The man who said he was deliberately sprayed refused treatment. Several other people also refused treatment.
