Acid thrown in woman's face in Haarlem parking garage
Yesterday a man through a corrosive liquid, possibly acid, over a woman in a parking garage in Haarlem. The woman was taken to a hospital. The man was arrested.
The motive behind the attack is still unclear, but the police suspect that the reason has something to do with relationship problems. The police have not yet been able to speak to the woman. Her condition is unknown.
The woman was attacked late in the afternoon when she was walking through parking garage De Kamp in the center of Haarlem. Her friend also obtained injuries on his hands. He was initially seen as a suspect, but was cleared soon after.
