A Fort Pierce man on a bicycle threw hot food on a woman sitting in her car, according to an arrest report.

The 50-year-old woman told officers she was listening to music in her car in the 2700 block of Ave. I while waiting for her boyfriend on Aug. 25. She said Eric Reeves came up to her car riding a bicycle and threw a plate of hot food in her face.

Reeves left and headed south, the report states. About 10 minutes later,  the woman said Reeves came back, throwing hot food in her face again and fleeing.

The woman told the officers she knows Reeves because he lives nearby.

The officer said the woman's face was covered in food but she was not burned.

Reeves was arrested and is charged with battery.
