A 16-year-old girl was arrested on Long Island after authorities say she threw bleach at a counselor's face at a social service agency Friday.
According to police, Liana Brown, a resident at MercyFirst in Syosset, was reprimanded by a 53-year-old female counselor for taking another student's food. Brown then went to the cafeteria kitchen and returned with a cup of bleach, which she threw into the woman's face, police said.
The counselor was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for chemical burns to her face and eyes and released, officials said.
Brown was charged with second-degree assault and was scheduled to be arraigned Saturday at First District Court in Hempstead.
