The pepper spray bracelet, created by Domonique Torrence, is worn around the wrist and is activated by a button located in the palm of the hand."You can hold your books, you can jog and if you are attacked, it's still secured to your hand," Torrence said.Torrence said he came up with the idea after a friend of his was attacked.Mary Fisher, who was attacked at gunpoint twice while in Florida, said the bracelet could protect her."I'm thinking if he grabs you around the neck, you might be able to shoot him with this and disable him," Fisher said.The device and replacement pepper spray cartridges will sell for $30 later this year, according to the report.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
