Two victims, a man in his 20s and a woman in her 40s, had to be taken to hospital for treatment following the incident in Burdett Road, Mile End, east London.

Scotland Yard said three other teenage youths arrested on suspicion of GBH have all been released under investigation.

The capital has been hit by a wave of acid attacks in recent weeks – including six men being attacked in a span of 90 minutes.

Both victims have been discharged from hospital after receiving treatment.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd has already announced a government crackdown on acid attacks – claiming she wanted culprits to "feel the full force of the law".

Ahmed will appear before Thames Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
