Store clerk sent to hospital after robbers blast him with bear spray

A convenience store clerk was taken to hospital Wednesday night after robbers sprayed him with a substance like bear repellent so they could grab cash and smokes.
It happened at about 10:20 p.m. at a store on Montreal Road near St. Laurent Boulevard.
Two men, both disguised, walked into the store and immediately sprayed and incapacitated the clerk.
They grabbed the items and fled.
A witness outside the store spotted the suspects as they left the store and called 911, Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch
