Three men have been rushed to hospital after a suspected acid attack on the streets in east London this morning.

Police officers were called to Dalston at 5.20am to reports that three people had been injured with a 'noxious substance'.

The three victims, aged 17, 22 and 27-years old, were taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital to receive urgent treatment, the Metropolitan Police said.

No arrests have yet been made and enquiries continue, a spokesperson told MailOnline.

The scene is less than a mile from where Arthur Collins, the father of Towie star Ferne McCann's baby, threw a corrosive substance inside Mangle E8 nightclub, injuring 22 people, in April last year. Collins is now serving a 20-year jail sentence.
