The victim told police she was driving in her car on Peachtree Street approaching Spring Street and was trying to change lanes but ended up cutting of a woman driving a white Mercedes-Benz.
She told police the driver in the Mercedes suddenly pulled up close behind her vehicle and started beeping the horn aggressively.
But then, what happened next landed the victim with a trip to the hospital.
She told police when she came to a complete stop, the driver and a man got out of the Mercedes and confronted her. She said the man, who was a passenger in the car, thew a purple-like substance on her. Some of it splashed into her face. The suspects left the scene.
The police said EMS were called to the scene because the victim complained of "a burning sensation on her skin and eyes." She was taken to the hospital for her injuries.
