Neither of the victims, a man in his 20s and a woman in her 40s, have as yet been named.



They have, however, both been discharged from hospital after receiving treatment.

A Met Police spokesperson told Metro.co.uk after the attack: ‘Both victims have suffered burn injuries; their conditions are non-life threatening.’
