Ralph Monus says his girlfriend attacked him with acid at his Largo home early Sunday.

Now, Melissa Diane Egbert, 39, faces aggravated battery charges and sits in the Pinellas County jail with a $100,000 bond.

Police say she threw a bottle of muriatic acid into his face.

Surveillance video allegedly shows Egbert attacking Monus, jumping into a car and driving from the scene.

Egbert, of 6th Street NE, has faced criminal charges before, including domestic battery by strangulation and auto theft.

Muriatic acid, also known as hydrochloric acid, causes significant burns when it touches skin.

Monus, 44, says they dated for the past 18 months.

He says she came to the home drunk. When he asked her to leave, he says that's when she threw the acid.

Monus says his surveillance video shows Egbert removing the cap from the acid bottle and placing it on the table next to her.

He says she threw it at him twice, leaving him in immediate pain.

He washed his face in the shower, but refused to go to the hospital.

His face remains red and his driveway has white spots from the acid.

Monus says he never wants to see Egbert again.
