KITCHENER -- A Guelph woman was taken to hospital after an improvised homemade "smoke bomb" sprayed drain cleaner in her face.
Police said that a passerby called 911 for an ambulance after coming across the victim near Guelph City Hall on Tuesday night.
According to a news release, the 39-year-old woman said she had mixed ingredients in a plastic bottle at her home after watching a YouTube video.
