My friend (war veteran) got sprayed by fire extinguisher as he was riding his bike. A powerful, full of chemicals blow into his face. He caught the car on the next intersection and put his set of keys next to the front of the car as he started to call 911. The teenagers in the car had a choice - drive a way and suffer long key scratches along the car or stay on the spot. It was an expensive car, they stayed on the spot until police showed up.

There were some charges and some compensations for my friend. I think he had to go to the hospital due to the kind of chemicals in that particular fire extinguisher they used.

I thought that the 'keys' trick was quite clever.
