If it was a verbal stoush and she sprayed him then she should be charged with assault shouldn't she?

Police made no arrests and say there will be no further investigation. Only the Club is looking into it.

Richmond is reportedly investigating an incident involving young gun Liam Baker at a Melbourne rooftop venue on Sunday morning.
Police and fire crews were called to a “hazmat incident” at the Osborne Rooftop and Bar in South Yarra, with the Herald Sun report alleging Baker was capsicum-sprayed by a female patron after a verbal stoush.
“We are investigating what happened at the nightclub,” a Richmond spokeswoman said.
Police confirmed there would not be any further investigations and that no arrests were made following the incident.
“We have no comment to make about the incident that occurred,” a spokesman for the Osborne Rooftop & Bar said.
Baker has been a key member of Richmond’s back-to-back premierships, playing 42 games in the yellow and black since being drafted.
It is the latest off-season saga involving the Tigers which has included Sydney Stack spending Christmas behind bars after breaching COVID-19 restrictions in Western Australia.
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick also split with his wife and his new relationship with a colleague became public earlier this month.

Liam Baker capsicum sprayed.
Oh and Hardwick has a new Mrs btw...

Love how they still managed to squeeze in reference to the Hardwicks split, the story that just keeps on giving.

Exactly, today’s journalism is just gutter press.
The Truth esq, surprised they didn’t bring up Princess Di, Bill Clinton or some other unnewsworthy topic, tbh, if I was Google I would tell the AuS Govt to GAGF, fancy paying for Australian News eg WA in total lockdown after 1 case of Corona Virus,
Grumpy Old Man signing off....
