Suspected pepper spray attack in theatre, court told

Chaos broke out at a children’s variety show at the Tivoli Theatre in Dublin following a suspected pepper spray attack on audience members, a court has heard.

Performers with the Spotlight Kids, a group of 72 young people from Inchicore, Dublin, staged Fantasy Street at the Tivoli in Francis St for two nights when an incident took place in the auditorium.

At Dublin District Court, Shane Carey has admitted being at the theatre but has pleaded not guilty to assaulting two males and two females in connection with the incident on Apr 27.
