His friend was offered a liquor shot and noticed it had a strange taste,
He immediately began to feel ill and vomited blood without stopping coughing.
The victim was rushed to hospital, where he was admitted to the ICU.
Due to the severity of the injuries to his esophagus- the food pipe running between the throat and stomach- he was transferred to another hospital where he was treated for several days.
Tests confirmed that he had ingested a caustic substance.
The arrested drink spiker is being investigated by a Carlet court.
