19 Hospitalized After Wal-Mart Bleach Fight

19 Hospitalized After Wal-Mart Bleach Fight

One person was arrested and nineteen were transported to hospitals after two women threw bleach and other chemicals on each other during a fight at an Arbutus Wal-Mart.

The Baltimore County Fire Department said that the store at 3601 Washington Boulevard had to be evacuated for nearly two hours Saturday after the department received reports of people throwing bleach and ammonia at each other.

Baltimore County Police said that their department responded to a report of a fight shortly before 11:00 a.m. They determined that two women began fighting and had begun to throw chemicals on each other in the course of their dispute.

Most of the injuries were not serious, though one person was transported to the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins University. However, it is unclear just how serious that particular injury is. Baltimore County Police also said that two people were transported to Baltimore Washington Medical Center, and one woman has been arrested.

 It is not known at this time exactly what the women were fighting about, though it is believed that the two had prior knowledge of each other.
