A parent pepper sprayed a nurse overseeing a town day camp at Spring Valley High School Monday morning following a confrontation, according to an official.

Spokesperson for the East Ramapo Central School District, Scott Salotto, tells News 4 that the parent confronted the nurse just before 9 a.m. following an earlier phone dispute between the two.

Salotto says the parent signed in at security, was cleared to the nurse’s office and it was there where the parent pepper sprayed her for reasons not immediately known. The parent fled and is still being sought.

The nurse was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment and is now recovering at home.

The children who attend the camp were not hurt in the incident.

Although the incident took place at the local high school, the day camp is organized by the town which rents space from the school district.

The nurse who was attacked is an employee of the Town of Ramapo and not the school district.

According to police, a total of two day camp workers were sprayed and sought medical attention. They did not elaborate who the workers were.

 
Police say the man is the father of a child at a summer camp being held at the school. They say the father and the nurse had gotten into an altercation on the phone about his child's medication needs prior to the incident.

 
Michael Smith was arrested after the altercation at Spring Valley High School on Monday, village police said today. The 35-year-old was charged with three counts of second-degree assault, a felony, and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a misdemeanor, police said.
