GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A Green Bay woman is left badly burned after a homeless man she befriended poured boiling water on her.

Bear poured the boiling water on the woman causing 2nd degree burns, then left.
Bear is facing 3 felony charges: Mayhem, Aggravated Battery-Intend Bodily Harm, and 1st Degree Reckless Injury.
According to court records, his initial court appearance was scheduled for Wednesday in Brown County.
