A juvenile pepper sprayed two BART riders Saturday night in an attempted robbery at the Embarcadero Station, BART police said.

Officers who responded to the incident around 8:50 p.m. were unable to find the suspect, who was described as a female wearing a pink shirt and denim shorts. She was one of a group of 10 juveniles on the train, according to the police report.

The two people who were sprayed with Mace, a man and woman, were not injured in the incident. BART police had no further details Sunday morning.

In recent months, there have been two reports of large groups of teenagers staging robberies on BART. In the most recent incident in late June, a group of teens tried to steal an iPhone 7 from a passenger at the Coliseum Station in Oakland, but she got it back when another passenger intervened. In April, a group of teens robbed and assaulted riders at the same station.

There’s no indication, based on the little information available, that the incident on Saturday was a similar group robbery.
