When a black hatchback came up in front of her and three males rushed out, the 32-year-old was live streaming outside the restaurant.
A popular TikTok user Jenny Elhassan is said to have been attacked with acid outside a Sydney restaurant on Friday night.
Acid was allegedly thrown in her face as she walked out of a restaurant in the Dixon Street Mall at about 11.15 p.m., leaving her with facial burns.
According to NSW Police, the incident began when a black hatchback drove over in front of her and three guys wearing masks left the vehicle, one of them splashed acid in her face.
At the time of the alleged assault, Elhassan was live streaming and wearing large black glasses, which she later claimed protected her during the alleged assault.
She was taken to the Royal North Shore Hospital for treatment.
In a webcast from the hospital, Elhassan remarked, “See the burn wounds on my head and the burn marks over my neck.”

“When it first happened, I felt I’d lost my vision. God saved me, I screamed. I was wearing my spectacles. Consider what would happen if I didn’t have my spectacles on. In the middle of Ramadan, they hurled black acid in my face.”
Elhassan has since been released from custody. Despite the fact that the circumstances surrounding the crime are still being investigated, police have stated that the attack was targeted.
Elhassan was upset and struggled to breathe when paramedics arrived.
According to NSW Ambulance Inspector Andrew Bibby, “her face was quite swelled as a result of the chemical material, which was also affecting her vision.”
Burns, according to Bibby, are the most painful and toughest to treat of all the injuries paramedics see.
According to him, acid has the potential to be life-threatening because it damages not just the skin but also the underlying tissue.
This necessitates a hasty trip to the hospital for medical and sometimes surgical treatment.
Officers from the Sydney City Police Area reacted to reports of a woman suffering from facial burns.
With the help of NSW Fire and Rescue HAZMAT crews, a crime scene was formed, and the area was evacuated and secured.
