At the time, West Midlands Police said two people were treated by ambulance crews at the scene and two others required further checks at hospital.
Though, none of them had suffered any lasting physical injuries since the Sutton Park incident.
Bradley Baker was charged with four counts of administering a noxious substance and one of outraging public decency.
The 32-year-old was found guilty of the charges and last Monday (16 March 2026) was jailed for four years at Birmingham Crown Court.
