family, a woman frantically ran in here when it happened and said ‘there’s been
an acid attack’
‘She bought one bottle at first and then after that bought three
more bottles of 1.5l water to pour on the man’s burns after a person threw acid
in his face.
‘Then a gentleman came in and bought another three. About
five minutes later and ambulance and police cars turned up, as well as the fire
brigade.
‘It’s such a scary thing to happen.’
The victims were walking down the street with their toddler
in the pushchair prior to the attack.
