And hopefully the cops arresting him returned the favor.

Police In DeLand said they have never seen anything like it, Local 6’s Erik Webber reported.

Officers said Kenneth Smith, 25, got into a fight with his girlfriend Thursday and it then escalated into violence.

Smith’s girlfriend was in a bedroom holding her infant son when police said he pepper sprayed the woman and his own son in the face.

“We have had cases where children get injured during an argument, but it is the first time we have heard pepper spray or Mace has ever been used,” DeLand Police Sgt. John Anderson told the Daytona Beach News Journal. “It is unusual.”
