Police in Prince William were busy on St. Patrick’s Day.
At 6:10 p.m. Thursday, police were called to the 17200 block of Wexford Loop in Dumfries, off of Wayside Drive and U.S. 1, for a report of an attempted robbery.
Officers found a 33-year-old man had been assaulted by four men, but nothing was taken from him.
He suffered injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
The men were described as black, between 18 and 25-years-old, said Perok.
Later that night at 9:40, an employee at the Kmart store on Dale Boulevard in Dale City was sprayed with pepper spray when that employee went to investigate a suspicious person inside the store, said Perok.
After spraying the employee, the man ran to the front of the store and fled the area on foot.
Nothing was stolen and the victim did not go to the hospital, said Perok.
The man with the pepper spray is described as White or Hispanic, between 20 and 22-years-old, 5 feet 4 inches tall, 140 pounds with a medium build.
He was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and a baseball cap.
