Yet Another Acid Attack

A North Austin woman might lose her vision after she was attacked yesterday by a group of four men who beat her and threw acid in her face. According to CBS 2, the attack was retaliation for complaints issued by the woman and other neighborhood residents about a group of young men whose basketball games were turning disruptive to the neighborhood. Police say the woman had earlier received a threatening letter but have not yet said if the two are connected (we're guessing probably). It's at least the third acid attack in the area this year after a pair back in March; suspects in a 2008 Logan Square acid attack are still awaiting trial.
