A mother and a child hurt in a chemical attack in south London may have suffered life-changing injuries, police searching for a “dangerous” suspect say.
A mother and her two children were hurt in a chemical attack in south London last night, when a corrosive substance was thrown by a man.
The Metropolitan Police says officers “urgently” need to find the suspect and are appealing for the public’s help to track him down after the “targeted attack”.
Superintendent Gabriel Cameron said: “The woman, who is aged 31, and her two daughters – aged eight and three – all remain in hospital. While none of their conditions are life-threatening, the injuries to the woman and younger girl could be life-changing. It may be some time before hospital staff are able to say how serious that might be.”
