Police are looking for a man who allegedly sprayed a mace-like substance on a father and his 2-year-old daughter in Bushwick.
The incident happened on Oct. 6 at around 8:40 a.m., when Jesus Centeno, the 42-year-old suspect from Brooklyn, approached a 25-year-old man carrying his daughter and sprayed both of them in the face with the substance in front of the McDonald’s on 700 Broadway, police said.
Centeno then fled the scene toward Flushing Avenue, according to police.
Both the 25-year-old man and his daughter were taken by ambulance to Woodhull Hospital, where they were treated for irritation to the skin, caused by the mace-like spray, an NYPD spokesperson said.
