A woman has bathed herself with a substance suspected to be home-made acid. Lizzie Dunn from Staten Island in New York City, told police last Monday that she was attacked with acid when walking alone to a bus stop. “The attacker was a panhandler,” Dunn, 52, reported; “a black woman in her 40s, who sprayed acid on my face when I didn’t have cigarettes or spare change to give her. She then asked for money, and I told her no and sorry.”That’s when the supposed woman got mad and grabbed Dunn by the shoulder, spun her around, sprayed her in the face, and fled, Dunn told police. There is no threat to the public.”Investigators believe Dunn used a spray bottle to burn herself with some kind of homemade acid.
