SINN Féin has said it will be seeking an urgent meeting with police after CS spray was used on man at a First Communion celebration in west Belfast.
The incident happened in the Glenkeen area of Dunmurry on Friday evening.
A PSNI statement said officers called to the address were "prevented from entering the garden by a number of individuals who blocked the gate".
"Officers attended the property and were then approached by an aggressive male.
"CS spray was deployed and the 34-year-old was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including assault on police. He was subsequently released and will be reported to the PPS."
Chief Inspector Gavin Kirkpatrick added: "At no time was CS spray utilised in respect of any children present. Anyone who believes they have a complaint to make regarding the actions of any police officer should bring their complaint to the office of the Police Ombudsman for independent investigation."
Footage of the incident was shared with Sinn Féin MLA Órlaithí Flynn and Belfast councillor Stephen Magennis.
Mr Magennis said: "The family have raised concerns over the conduct of the PSNI which resulted in a disabled man being hospitalised and pepper spray allegedly being used.
"Footage provided to Sinn Féin representatives shows the PSNI physically restraining some of those at the party. Myself and MLA Orlaithí Flynn will be seeking an urgent meeting with the local PSNI District Commander to raise questions over the conduct of officers."
Ms Flynn added: "I will also be speaking with Sinn Féin policing representative Gerry Kelly to have the incident raised with the Policing Board."
