Investigations Launched Into Reported UT-Austin Bleach Bomb Attack
Yesterday, Burnt Orange Report broke the story about a bleach-filled balloon thrown at University of Texas student Bryan Davis. After Davis bravely came forward, the public responded with a overwhelming demand for an investigation.
The Austin Police Department has now opened an investigation into the incident. Though an APD case on numerous bleach bomb attacks against students of color a year ago did not yield results, Austin Police Department Cpl. David Boyd told Fox 7 that the department is determined to get to the bottom of it.
"They (detectives) might be able to go out and look in the area and see who had surveillance cameras out there or any potential witnesses that were in the area that could have seen something," Boyd said. "If anybody were to get bleach thrown at them in their eyes it could be a very serious situation where it could potentially blind you," he added.
"We want to catch whoever's doing this and make sure it doesn't happen anymore," Boyd told KVUE.
