Late Monday night a cyclist sprayed a 27-year-old woman in Friedrichshain with what the fire brigade suspected was acid. If proven it would be the fifth case of its kind in the past few months.
The fire brigade treated the woman, who then went to hospital with injuries to her face. The unknown cyclist escaped.
