SINGAPORE: A 28-year-old woman was charged on Saturday (Mar 25) with scalding a man with hot water, leaving him with second-degree burns.
Rahimah Nisva was arrested aboard a ferry from Singapore to Indonesia on Thursday after the assault, the police said early Saturday morning.
At about 7.30am on Thursday, the police were informed that a 24-year-old man was scalded by hot water near Balam Road. Preliminary investigations found that the woman had allegedly poured hot water on the man and fled the scene.
The victim suffered second-degree burns on his neck and shoulders and was conscious when taken to hospital, said the police.
A thermos flask believed to have been used in the assault was found discarded nearby.
The police said Rahimah knew the victim and took steps to conceal her identity, including masking her face during the assault and changing her attire after.
Both the flask and the attire she wore during the assault were seized by police officers.
