NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — A man was taken into custody Monday morning after police say he assaulted a sergeant with a caustic substance.

According to investigators, the sergeant was standing outside the Dunkin Donuts on North Military Highway when a man walked up and threw something into his face. Police say the sergeant was not on a call at the time. A preliminary investigation found that the incident was unprovoked. They do not know yet what was thrown at the officer, only that it was a caustic substance, something that caused immediate burning to the sergeant’s eyes, face and neck.

The officer was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital with significant burn injuries.

The suspect was immediately taken into custody near the scene shortly after 10 a.m.; charges are pending.

Send the medical bills to the White House. Praying for a full recovery of the officer.

My sympathy to the officer, and I hope he has a full recovery.

There is something very wrong inside the person that could do this sort of thing.

He is obviously a person that thinks there is no such thing as a good police officer.

What a sick twisted mind...

The acid men on the old Untouchables series struck me as the lowest of the villians.

BLM or a moslem. Or maybe a mad woman. But guaranteed its one of the unsavory elements out there.

” on North Military Highway when a man walked up and threw something into his face. “

“A man”. That description tells me it wasn’t a white male wearing a Trump hat.

True. But I’ll bet someone from the red hat team reaches out on the policeman or his family. And no one from the asshat team.

Send the medical bills to the White House.

And indict the Kenyan as a co-conspirator.

The idea that there's anyone still willing to be in law enforcement after the Marxist's unrelenting assaults on them just makes their bravery stand out in high relief.
