Police were called to a property in Wynyard St, South Dunedin this morning in response to a family harm event, Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said.
Officers were attempting to detain a 32-year-old man when he fled to his bedroom.
He managed to grab an aerosol of deodorant and sprayed it in the face of a police office, getting it in her face and eyes.
As a result she had an asthma attack, Snr Sgt Bond said.
When police attempted to get the can off the man, he sprayed deodorant into the face of a second police officer.
The man was arrested, charged with assaults police and was bailed to appear in Dunedin District Court next week.
