A man has suffered burns to his face following an altercation at a complex on South Sound Road on Monday.
Police have detained a 29-year-old Bodden Town man over the incident.
He was arrested for suspected grievous bodily harm, and transported to the Detention Centre for processing.
The RCIPS, in a press release issued Tuesday, said shortly before 8am on Monday, officers attended the Cayman Islands Hospital following a report of a man receiving treatment for a serious burn to his face, which had been inflicted on him by another man.
Police said it was reported that the victim and the other man were both working at a complex on South Sound Road, in the vicinity of Grand Harbour, when an altercation ensued between the two.
The suspect, police said, took a bottle of fluid from his vehicle and threw it on the victim’s face, causing it to burn. He received “suspected serious injuries”.
It is unclear what fluid was used in the incident.
The Cayman Compass has reached out to police for an update on the victim’s condition, and is awaiting a response.
Police said the victim called 911 after he was injured and an ambulance transported him to the hospital for treatment.
Officers went to the complex to locate the suspect at the time of the incident but he wasn’t there.
Just before 7pm on Monday, the suspect turned himself in at the George Town Police Station.
Investigations are continuing.
