SFPD Officer Suffers Chemical Burns In Tenderloin Attack

An officer with the San Francisco Police Department was rushed to the hospital late Saturday night, after suffering chemical burns when attacked with a noxious substance.

According to the SFPD, at 11:06 Saturday night police were called to the 100 block of Hyde Street, which is between Golden Gate Avenue and Turk Street, on reports of a fight in progress.

Police say that when police arrived, a 47-year-old woman six floors above dumped bleach on the officer, causing chemical burns.

The officer was transported to the hospital for treatment of the burns, which police say are non-life-threatening. The woman was arrested for assault on a law enforcement officer, and was booked into San Francisco County Jail.
