A 31-year-old Guelph man was charged with assault and administering a noxious substance after what’s believed to have been peroxide was thrown into another man’s eyes early Sunday morning.

The incident happened at about 2:45 a.m. in the parking lot of a motel on Woodlawn Road West, explains a Guelph Police news release. The two men were involved in an argument when one threw liquid at the other, temporarily blinding him.

Paramedics took the victim to hospital in “severe pain,” though he’s not believed to have sustained permanent damage.
