In short:

Police used capsicum spray on neo-Nazis who disrupted an asylum seeker rally in Melbourne last night.

The group was clad in black and chanted white supremacist slogans while holding an offensive banner.

Police said no arrests were made and nobody was injured.

I don't see the contradiction, they sprayed them as a deterrent without making an arrest. (And apparently chemical irritation doesn't count as an injury)
