A suspect allegedly bear-sprayed a man near the Kelowna tourism centre and fled the scene to start random bar fights at a downtown bar, according to eye witnesses.

The alleged suspect fled to OÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™FlanniganÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s Pub and randomly picked fights with patrons.

Police have been contacted for more information.
