The London acid attack took place in the north of the city this morning, when the victim was approached by two attackers who sprayed him with what police described as a "noxious substance".

The victim then burst into a nearby Kwik Fit where he begged for water and an ambulance.

Shop supervisor Binesh Katia told the Times Series: “We poured water on his face and he kept saying ‘call an ambulance I have been attacked with acid.’

“We took him into the washroom area and stripped his top off and washed him down with water while police were on their way.

“He had to keep rinsing before the acid settled into his skin.”
