Brooklyn Teen, Zhanna Smsarian Throws Acid in Face of Former Friend Albina Eshimbaeva

SHOCK: A feud between two students at Brooklyn's Fort Hamilton High School came to a head when Zhanna Smsarian threw acid in the face of her one-time friend Albina Eshimbaeva, according to the New York Daily News. Zhanna reportedly admitted to authorities she wanted "to burn the eyes out" of honor student Albina when she slipped up from behind with a bottle of acid in their Wednesday morning chemistry class, the newspaper said.

Albina, 15, told the Daily News Thursday night that she had a feeling Smsarian was gunning for her the day of the attack in Fort Hamilton High School. Smsarian "was standing against a wall staring at me in an evil way," Albina said. "She was smiling, but it was evil.

"I knew something bad was coming, but didn't know what it was. Two seconds later, I felt the liquid falling down my bangs." Smsarian was in her ROTC uniform and wearing a pair of goggles as she swore in Russian and splashed the acid. "My whole face was burning," recalled Albina, an immigrant from Kyrgyzstan. "I thought I was blind. I couldn't see anything." Source

What would possess this young lady to do this? It could have had life-altering effects on her former friend. She shouldn't be given a slap on the wrist. She should be punished for carrying out such a horrific act. Thankfully, doctors who treated Albina said she only avoided losing her sight because the diluted solution was just 10% acid, sources told the NY Daily News. Absolutely unbelievable.
