If yes, then consider yourself lucky, as a man in the United States had one of the worst experiences he might remember for the rest of his life.
In a case of sheer bad luck, the man was attacked with pepper spray by a woman in Arlington, Virginia state on Tuesday when he was taking pictures of his children. It seems the woman had mistakenly thought that they were not his kids.
In the incident, the woman first observed the man whiletaking pictures of the children. She informed a security guard nearby about the situation, as per the crime report on Wednesday.

The investigation is currently going on and the woman is still at large, police said.
The cops are searching for a black woman, who is in her late 20s to mid-30s on the charges of "malicious injury by caustic agent."
