A Berlin woman reported being attacked this week by a cyclist who threw acid in her face - the fifth such case in the capital city since December. The woman told police that the male cyclist was dressed in dark colours, and had continued biking after the attack. The woman went to hospital to be treated for serious damage to her eyes, according to local broadcaster rbb. In January, another 27-year-old woman in the eastern Prenzlauer Berg neighbourhood was also attacked by a male bike rider in a similar way. In December, a cyclist attacked three women with a skin-irritating liquid.
