LOWER MANHATTAN (WABC) — A Lower Manhattan hotel was evacuated as a precaution after someone sprayed bear spray inside.<\/p>\n

The spray was released just after 8 a.m. Monday on the 20th floor of the DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown on Stone Street.<\/p>\n

A few people who came into contact with the spray were evaluated by EMS.<\/p>\n

A couple hundred people in the hotel are being evacuated as the floor is ventilated.<\/p>\n

Apparently, a dispute between two people culminated with one spraying bear spray at the other.<\/p>\n

So far, there are no arrests.<\/p>\n
