Thugs have threatened to splash people with acid at Notting Hill Carnival in sickening social media posts.

The person behind the sick post appears to threaten that any woman who rejects their advances and any man who gets too close to them will be targeted.


In addition, anyone who tries to drink the poster’s alcohol or smoke their weed will also be made a target, the post claims.
