A 62-year-old man has been charged with numerous offences after allegedly replacing lubricant with hydrochloric acid in the bathroom of Sydney gay club Aarows on Saturday, August 27. Luckily, club security were able to intervene before any injuries were caused.
The man allegedly filled a communal lubricant dispenser with the highly corrosive acid with the intention that patrons would use it. Hydrochloric acid burns human skin on contact and can cause permanent injury and scarring—needless to say, it should not, under any circumstances, be used as lube.
"An alarm sounded and security detained the man before police from Rosehill Local Area Command attended," they said.
"[He] was arrested and taken to Parramatta Police Station and charged with administer poison intend to injure/cause distress/pain, enter building with intent to commit an indictable offence, malicious damage and drive whilst suspended."
It's unknown what motivated the man to commit the act, with one club-goer telling the ABC on Saturday, "It could be anything really. People are perverted."

Just wow, one wouldn't want to be the person who decided to use this lubircant.
Whatever one's opinion of gay people, this is just beyond the pale.

Fortunately an alarm was sounded, as devices had been previously tampered with, so there were security measures in place.

Oh the horror, to be the wrong person who accidentally used this lubricant, oh the pain.
One club-goer, who chose not to be identified, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. it was a "sick" thing to do. "Hydrochloric acid is not the best sort of thing to be playing with," he said. When asked what may have motivated the suspect, the man said: "It could be anything really. People are perverted."

Firstly.. Who thinks of this. I mean this guy must have sat at home and come up with this ingenious plan.. For what purpose or motive..
Secondly.. How did he know this club had a communal lube dispenser? I wasn't even aware they existed.
Something is a little fishy about this..
