"Stratford shopping centre doors covered in acid after gang spray crowds with noxious substance injuring six in frightening mass attack
Six people were injured tonight in a massive acid attack after a gang of men sprayed a noxious substance.
Police and paramedics rushed to the Stratford Shopping Centre in east London at 8pm to reports of attack.
Witnesses described panic in the moments after the assault as injured people hurried to wash their faces.
Paramedics treated six people for injuries as one man repeatedly screamed 'I can't see' in Stratford station.
A Burger King assistant manager who gave his name as Hossen, 28, said he saw a victim and his friend run into the restaurant bathroom 'to wash acid off his face'.
Imrana begum, 18, was working in Primark in Westfield when the attack happened.
She told MailOnline: 'It is a huge shock, even though more of these attacks are happening.
'I was folding clothes and suddenly everyone was like be careful, be careful there's been a huge acid attack. Apparently people could hear screaming.'
Paul Gibson, assistant director of operations at London Ambulance Service, said: 'We have sent a number of resources to the scene including paramedics in cars, ambulance crews, an incident response officer and our Hazardous Area Response Team.
'So far, we have treated at least five patients at the scene and taken three patients to hospital. We remain on scene.'
Police have ruled out terrorism and arrested one man on suspicion of GBH. Witnesses claimed the substance was thrown by 'young black teenage males'."
Notas pessoais:
"Police have ruled out terrorism"? Bem, se isto não é terrorismo, o que será? Fazer parte do National Action, e amar e lutar pela sua pátria?
Continua-se a tapar o sol com a peneira...
