Abstract
CS sprays are now being widely used by police in the UK. Concerns are being expressed regarding the toxicity of this substance and some of the situations in which it is being used. This is the first reported case in the UK of CS spray being used to restrain a mentally ill person in police custody. It raises important issues regarding the welfare of mentally ill people who happen to find themselves in contact with the police. There is a need for open debate, specific guidelines and a system of monitoring the use of CS in such situations.
