The man and two women who were sprayed in the face suffered irritation in the eyes, but did not require treatment.
Surry Hills Police Area Command were told a bystander confronted the runaway man and took the spray away from him.
They handed the can to security and officers collected the spray that is thought to be a form of OC spray.
Police describe the man to be white, of slim to medium build, with spiked red hair and shaved sides.
He was last seen running west along Oxford Street towards Crown Street, Surry Hills.
