According to the Sun on Sunday, the glass bottle exploded in Abbie's face, setting her hair and clothes on fire.
AJ reportedly put out the flames, before calling an ambulance for help.
However, they were told it could take a while before help arrived, so AJ's brother Curtis drove them to the hospital.
