Lizzie Dunn from Staten Island told police earlier this week she was attacked with acid when walking alone to a bus stop. The attacker was a panhandler, Dunn reported, a black woman in her 40s, who sprayed acid on her face when Dunn didn’t have cigarettes or spare change to give her.

After a police investigation, her story turned out to be a lie. The wounds were self-inflicted, and she confessed to police her story was fabricated.

It's sick enough to falsely accuse someone else of doing something like this, but to actually put acid on your face as so called evidence is a whole new level of crazy.

I hope she gets help.

Interestingly enough the article doesn't mention if the woman volunteered the information of race or if it was in response to questioning by the cops.

Whatever the case may be it's good that they found out it was a hoax.

Happened in San Diego about five years ago. Not a panhandler but a homeless dude threw sulfuric acid in the face of some chick at a laundromat.

Why is that interesting to you ?

I have literally never seen an article purposefully differentiate the 2.

Yahoo is race baiting. That's why.

If you inflict third degree burns on yourself you really need to be in some type of secure unit.

Very Sad.

Just glad an innocent person wasn't sent to prison.

It was in the news last week. The person they were looking for had a 'dark complexion'. Black was never used.
