UK: Terrified Shoppers Flee London Mall After Teens Go on Acid Attack Rampage
NOVANEWS
Saturday shopping in a busy London mall took a terrifying turn after groups of youths flung a "noxious substance," police said.
Six people were injured in an acid attack at Westfield Shopping Center in Stratford, east London, on Saturday.
Panicked victims were heard screaming in pain and shouting, "I can't see," after the attack, eyewitnesses said.
Staff at a nearby Burger King said that one victim ran into the restaurant for help to wash the substance off his face.
"There were cuts around his eyes and he was trying to chuck water into them," the restaurant's assistant manager Hossen said.
