Two charged in Sydney bleach attack

SYDNEY, May 9 (UPI) -- Two women in Sydney were charged with assault after a bottle of bleach was thrown from a passing car at a family on a sidewalk, authorities said.

The bleach splashed the face of a girl, 4, walking Wednesday night with her mother, who was pushing a 6-month-old baby in a carriage. The girl was treated at a hospital, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported Thursday.

The two unidentified women, 20 and 22, surrendered to police, who noted two other incidents in which a roll of garbage bags was thrown at a bicyclist and a bottle of energy drink was tossed at a woman pedestrian.
