A staff member who left the building to get away from the pepper spray told detectives she was pushed by Mahilkanthan.
Mahilkanthan allegedly fled the area before being detained by Munhall police.
After detectives interviewed staff members, Mahilkanthan was charged with three counts each of aggravated assault, harassment, and disorderly conduct and one count each of criminal mischief, vandalism and obstructing administration of law.
She was taken to the Allegheny County Jail.
