In Georgia, a woman was seized who burned a hospital worker with a caustic liquid: NYPD

A frustrated woman accused of burning a hospital worker’s face with a corrosive liquid during an altercation at a Brooklyn subway station last year has been arrested more than 900 miles from the Georgia crime scene, police said Saturday.

Suspect Rodleen Gravesand, 33, was tracked down in Atlanta, where she lives, on Jan. 3 for an unprovoked attack at the Winthrop Street train station in Brooklyn, police said.

Late Friday night, she was extradited back to Brooklyn, where police charged her with assault.

Police said Gravesande was at the Winthrop Street station at 1:00 a.m. Dec. 2 when she burst in and screamed at her 21-year-old victim, who had just stepped off the southbound train number 2. The station is just a few blocks from the Kings County Hospital where the young woman worked.

As the hospital worker headed for the stairs, Gravesande ran up and splashed an unknown liquid on her, burning the victim’s face, before running out of the station.

The police could not immediately tell what kind of burning liquid it was.

The victim was taken to a Kings County hospital and then transferred to the burn unit at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, police said.

A hospital employee managed to take a picture of Gravesande on his mobile phone before the attack. The police were able to identify her from a photograph, the police said.

Gravesand’s indictment in Brooklyn Criminal Court was expected on Saturday.
