An APB is issued for the woman who tossed acid into the face of a Vancouver woman.

Vancouver detectives released a sketch to the media of a woman suspected of assaulting Bethany Storro, 28, who was on her way to a Vancouver Starbucks store Monday. 

The perp is described as a medium build black woman in her 20s who was wearing a ponytail, green shirt and khaki shorts. 

According to reports, the woman approached Storro, engaged her in conversation and then threw a cup of acid on her face.

Luckily, Storro was wearing sunglasses at the time of the incident and it is believed that they saved her eyes from damage.

The heavily bandaged victim made her first public appearance Thursday, a day after she underwent surgery to remove dead tissue and determine how badly she was burned.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Wally Stefan at 360-487-7425.
