We’re hearing a lot about acid attacks these days — now there’s been one in Mesa.
Police report that a 41-year-old woman stepped out of her vehicle in her driveway at about 1 p.m. yesterday when a woman walked up and threw acid on her. She then ran away through the apartment complex, near Southern Avenue and Val Vista Drive.
The victim was taken to the hospital with burns to her face and chest — no other word on her condition.

We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Police don’t think it’s a random act, based on their initial investigation.
The attacker is described as a Hispanic female, 30 to 40 years old, with black, shoulder-length hair in a ponytail, about 5-foot-6 and 140 pounds, with “wide hips.” She was wearing a black tank-top and black sweat pants with a white stripe.
