US man dies after pepper spray arrest

An African-American man in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, died after officers pepper-sprayed him when he resisted arrest, police said.

Police had received a call that Anthony Ware, 35, had a gun and was sitting on a porch at an apartment complex, Tuscaloosa city police said on their Facebook page.

When officers arrived, the man ran into woods and was chased by officers, who pepper-sprayed him, before placing him in handcuffs as he resisted arrest, police said. Ware collapsed as he was walking out of the woods.
