An angry woman threw a industrial-strength cleaner into the eyes of a man during a street argument, leaving him needing surgery to save his sight.
Sophie Yorke flung the five-litre bottle of corrosive brick cleaner at the man after a verbal exchange in which she claimed he had been spreading rumours about her and her husband. The man was left with his eyes and face burning from the toxic liquid and had two rounds of surgery to help restore his vision. Yorke, 47, admitted a charge of GBH with intent and was jailed at Leeds Crown Court today for four years.
He noticed the husband unwrap something from a cloth, thinking it might be a weapon, but from nowhere, Yorke hurled the bottle of liquid straight into his face. Temporarily blinded, the victim walked away without any help from Yorke, before a member of the public assisted him to a nearby friend’s home who administered first aid. The police and ambulance called and he was taken to Pinderfields. He suffered injuries to both eyes, had to wear bandages and had to undergo surgery twice.
