Two victims were hospitalized in separate acid attacks in London on the same day.
A 21-year-old man was brought to hospital after an assault in northeast London that also left him with cuts to his hands, presumably inflicted by a knife, according to police.
“Officers attended and found a 21-year-old man who had been assaulted, with a corrosive substance thrown over his face,†Metropolitan police said.
“The man has been taken to an east London hospital. His injuries are not being treated as life-threatening or life-changing.â€
No suspects have been apprehended at the time of this writing.
Hours later, a 29-year-old man was rushed to hospital after a burning liquid was thrown on him in Tower Hamlets, London.
