Another Woman Attacked With Acid [Video]

» by September 6, 2010, 10:20am

A second person has been attacked in what appears to be copycat replay as another woman was burned by an acid from some cowardly culprit walking the street.

The second attack occurred in Mersa, Arizona on Friday and left 41-year-old Derri Velarde severely scared with 2nd degree burns on her face and shoulders.

Velarde was in an apartment complex parking lot when an unidentified woman flung liquid into her face and ran off.

She stated,

"I saw... a woman, you know, walking up, with what looked like a drink of water in her hand.  It immediately just started to burn, I was on fire."

Police don't believe this attack was a random act of violence but more of a copycat attack which occurred last week in Vancouver, Washington when 28-year-old Bethany Storro was attacked by a stranger.

In Vancouver, Storro was approached by a woman who stated,

'Hey pretty girl,' and she turned around and she asked if she wanted something to drink, when the liquid was splashed into her face.

Here is a composite sketch of the woman who attacked Velarde.

    Do these two attacks in such close proximity hint at a new trend forming, and could these kinds of attacks with acid become more common in the future?

    Since-less. Why can we be confident in our appearance instead of targeting others that we think may look better than use and do hateful things to them? WOW!

    Is it just me or does the sketch look like the woman who was attacked? Eyes, nose, mouth, even the ears...only difference is the hair and eyebrows.
