The Toronto Sun claims that the couple were fighting inside her apartment, during which he allegedly decided to spray his hair dresser girlfriend with ketchup and mustard.

He then apparently left to go to a neighbor's apartment, and when he retued he allegedly doused her with the chemical substance while they were standing outside.

According to the CBC, Stefanatos allegedly threw an undisclosed household product at his girlfriend and fleed the scene.

'We know that the product is very dangerous for the skin if it's not diluted,' police spokesman Martin Simard told the station.

Her brother Maxime Gosselin hopes that the perpetrator is punished severely.

'(It was) thrown on her face, chest, everywhere,' he said.

'She was screaming. She hid in the bathroom. As she her skin it melted, it literally fell off. She was suffering.'

In keeping with the condiment-throwing theme, Mr Gosselin mentioned an altercation earlier this month when Stefanatos allegedly threw orange juice on St-Aauld and left her stranded in a parking lot.
