Woman arrested afterWoman arrested afterHUP fist fight University Police arrested Khadsha Sherman, 30, of the 4800 block of Locust Street, at about 1:30 p.m. yesterday after she was treated for burns resulting from the spray. She was charged with assault in the incident, which took place in HUP's Obstetrics and Gynecology unit. According to police, the conflict began when a child, who was allegedly jealous of a toy Sherman's son was playing with, pushed him. Sherman and the unnamed mother of the child became involved in the dispute and began arguing, police said. Sherman is then alleged to have sprayed the 25-year-old pregnant woman with mace. Neither woman was seriously injured in the incident, and both women were treated and released. -- Maureen Tkacik
