NEW PORT RICHEY, FL – A disturbing incident in Pasco County has left a man fighting for his life after his wife allegedly doused him with sulfuric acid. The attack occurred in their home, now marked as a biohazard zone.
Sean Yang is accused of attacking her husband, Robert Hayden, while he was asleep. He suffered extensive burns and was transported to Tampa General Hospital, where his condition remains critical.
Court documents show that Hayden had recently sought a divorce, with a court hearing scheduled for the day of the incident. Although authorities have not confirmed a motive, the timing suggests the divorce could be linked to the attack.
Yang reportedly confessed to emergency operators, admitting her intention to harm her husband and previous attempts to end his life. The couple, who connected online, married last August, but their relationship has been marred by domestic issues.
Neighbors reported frequent police visits due to domestic disturbances, though no arrests had been made previously. The attack underscores the volatility of their relationship.
In court, Yang appeared emotional as she faced serious charges. She remains in custody without bond for the attempted murder charge, though a bond was set for aggravated assault.
The case highlights the dangers of domestic violence and the need for intervention. Authorities urge individuals in similar situations to seek immediate assistance.
