A police manhunt has been launched for a “dangerous individual” after a mother and her two children were hurt in a chemical attack in south London.
The Metropolitan Police says officers “urgently” need to find the man and are appealing for the public’s help to track him down after the “targeted attack”.
A corrosive substance was thrown at a number of people in Lambeth last night.
Superintendent Gabriel Cameron said: “The woman, who is aged 31, and her two daughters – aged eight and three – all remain in hospital. While none of their conditions are life-threatening, the injuries to the woman and younger girl could be life-changing. It may be some time before hospital staff are able to say how serious that might be.”
