AUSTIN, Texas — Austin police arrested a woman who allegedly poured boiling water on her boyfriend after finding out he was cheating on her with a 16 year old.

Authorities responded to a residence near the 2400 block of Akron Cove on Tuesday for reports of a burned man. The caller told the police that an unknown male was at their front door and was burned.

Upon arrival, EMS told officers the male had 2nd degree burns to his body. He was then transported to the University Medical Center Backenridge for care.

Court documents say a witness, who was also a neighbor, told officers she heard someone banging on her door asking for help.
