A 33-year-old woman was eating at a McDonald’s in Tak Tin Plaza, Lam Tin, with her seven-year-old son and her mother when, all of a sudden, she felt a burning sensation on her back and waist.
She turned around to see an elderly man, who pointed to the ceiling and said something had dripped onto her. It turned out that the man, 63, had actually thrown acid on her with no apparent motive, reports Apple Daily.
Can one not enjoy a Happy Meal in peace anymore? Is nothing sacred?
The woman suffered minor burns on her back and was discharged from the hospital later that day.
The man, who lives alone in a nearby estate, was arrested after officers identified him via security camera footage. Apple Daily says that the man, divorced with grown children, was struck with jealousy after seeing three generations happily enjoying their meal together.
That’s actually kind of sad.
