"Police in Denmark have sparked anger by warning a teenage girl that she faces prosecution for using pepper spray to fend off an attacker near an asylum seekers centre.

The 17-year-old, from the coastal town of Sonderborg, was forced to the ground by an English-speaking man who tried to undress her. She was later warned by police that the pepper spray she used on him was illegal for private citizens to possess, and that she would face a £50 fine.

Local police spokesman Knud Kirsten told TV Syd: 'It is illegal to possess and use pepper spray, so she will likely to be charged for that.'

The man who allegedly attacked her has not yet been caught, and it remains unclear as to whether he was a migrant or a resident at the asylum centre.

But in the wake of concerns about waves of sex attacks by newly arrived migrants in Germany over New Year, the case has caused outrage on social media.

"Self-defence is a human right,” said one user. Others offered to pay the girl's fine for her. "

I don't really get why some countries have pepper spray illegal. I can understand banning certain potency levels and even guns maybe but pepper spray? Its non lethal and dos not permanently damage someone either.

I think she will only get a warning. Otherwise they really are idiots.

Because of... reasons

Here in Sweden you need a firearms license to buy pepper spray (which is stupid imo, I wish I could get one myself just in case so that I can feel safer while walking on the streets when it's dark)

Is it also illegal to make "pepper-spray" like substances? Don't get me wrong, I think it is stupid that you can't get it either, but cayenne pepper and water makes something just about the same . . . Or if you get some really hot peppers, like Habanero peppers, ground them up in water, and use the resulting water, its essentially the same thing. Cause I would definitely do that if it isn't illegal. Also probably cheaper.

There are other alternatives.

Like something like this

Ive read mixed things about that product though. Also it seems that particular one might not be shipped out of the uk.

Good question... It doesn't seem to be actually

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into that

This could so so wrong lol Dont forget to wear goggles, gloves, and a respirator when mixing it. Some homemade stuff ive seen involved more than just water and cayenne and can give off fumes.

Its kind of fun looking up non lethal weapons.

Oy Vey, how racist! Does she not know that her bigoted act is not self-defense, but mere intolerance of the tourism industry that we make gorillions of Shekels on! Put her on the EU's list of people to make society shun now and forever!

Really Denmark? Those priorities, I think they might need a little recheck.

Isn't that only if the perpetrator is allergic or something like that?
