A Georgia woman is on the mend after suffering severe injuries from a horrifying chemical attack during her evening stroll in Savannah, as reported by local authorities and her family.

On Wednesday evening around 8:15, 46-year-old Ashley Wasielewski was taking her usual laps near Forsyth Park when an unknown individual approached her without warning and poured a corrosive substance over her, according to Savannah Mayor Van Johnson.

“Such acts of violence are completely unacceptable in Savannah,” Mayor Johnson emphasized in a statement. “Our Police Department is addressing this case with utmost urgency.”

Currently, Wasielewski is receiving treatment at a Georgia hospital for second- and third-degree burns that cover approximately half of her body, including her scalp, face, hands, and legs, her son, Westley Wasielewski, informed The Associated Press.

Wasielewski is currently being treated for second- and third-degree burns covering roughly half her body. They cover her scalp, face, hands and legs, her son, Westley Wasielewski, told The Associated Press.

“We don’t know who did it,” Westley Wasielewski said. “She doesn’t have any enemies. She is a friend to everyone.”

Ashley Wasielewski was walking laps at the park after attending a church Christmas program when she said she noticed a shadow approaching from behind. 

As she turned around, the person dumped liquid over her head, according to her friend Connor Milam, AP reported.

“She was instantly like, ‘Why are you pouring water on me?’ And then her skin started to burn,” Milam said. “She looked down, and her pants were starting to burn off her body. She started screaming.”

Police believe the attacker was a stranger and are urgently searching for a suspect, the AP reported.

Detectives are working with the FBI to identify the chemical used in the attack, according to the AP.

“Detectives are actively investigating the motive and circumstances, and while this attack is deeply troubling, there is currently no information indicating a broader or ongoing threat to the public,” Johnson said.
