(London Guardian) A father, mother and their two-year-old son have suffered burns following an acid attack in north London.
Police are appealing for witnesses following the assault on the family in Islington at about 1pm on Saturday that left the father with “life-changing” injuries, police said.
The trio were found with injuries after a strong acid was thrown on them, the London fire brigade said.
The father was named on the neighbouring Barnsbury estate as Hai. He is a longtime resident of the area and a father of two, with a child aged about 11 as well as a toddler. His brother was believed to live on the estate and he lived nearby with his mother, neighbours said.
