Wis. Woman Splashed With Bleach In Dispute

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Madison police say an argument over a washing machine at a Laundromat led to a man splashing bleach on a woman's face.

A news release says two people argued Sunday evening over the use of a washing machine. The statement says the suspect grabbed a bottle of bleach and splashed the liquid into the face of a 27-year-old Madison woman.

Some of the caustic liquid landed in her eyes and mouth. She was taken to a hospital. The statement did not say how severe her injuries were.

A WMTV-TV report says police are looking for the suspect, described as a heavyset 6-foot-tall man between the ages of about 20 to 30, with braids.
