Cell phone video captured a float rider spraying a fire extinguisher into the crowd during the King Felix parade.Kristen Perez says she was marching with a band that was right behind the float when it happened.
“A guy on the float ahead of us pulled a fire extinguisher, sprayed it into the crowd, and then what came out of the extinguisher then blew back onto us into the band,” Perez said. “From there it blew into our mouths, our eyes, the instruments,” Perez said. “It blew in my mouth enough that I could feel it and taste it. And then my daughter complained of it getting into her eyes and various band members also complained about it being in their face.”
