The department did not specify how many people had been pepper sprayed, nor how many had been arrested, in its initial release. Responding officers determined that there had been an argument between two groups of people and quickly identified and arrested the suspects, the NWPD said. Monday, police said in a news release Thursday. The New Westminster Police Department received a 911 call about 'a group of people at Pier Park who had been pepper sprayed' in the park around 11:30 p.m. An argument between two groups of people who were 'hanging out' at New Westminster's Pier Park earlier this week led to multiple arrests and minor injuries, according to local police.
