Upon arrival, Deputies learned that while the Ranger was patrolling the park, he observed a group of individuals with alcoholic beverages in a prohibited area. While issuing a citation for the offense, the Ranger was physically attacked by one of the subjects. After being struck multiple times, the Ranger deployed pepper spray against the subject to end the assault.
