Hawaiian authorities are on the hunt for a suspect accused of throwing acid at a man’s face on Friday night in Honolulu, resulting in critical injuries.

According to the Honolulu Police Department (HPD), officers responded to an assault complaint shortly after 10 p.m. in the Chinatown area. 

Witnesses told officers a 30-year-old man was crossing the street when an unidentified suspect approached and threw an unknown liquid into his face.

The liquid was identified by the Honolulu Fire Department as sulfuric acid, a dangerously corrosive substance that can inflict serious burns on the skin, eyes, and internal tissues.
