London: Nine Hospitalized in Suspected ‘Acid Attack’ That Targeted Woman and Her Two Children
A manhunt is on in London for a male attacker who threw a suspected “corrosive substance” on a woman and her two children in a car following a collision Wednesday evening in the Clapham neighborhood. A total of nine people were taken to the hospital in the acid attack. The woman and her two children were hospitalized, as were three people who came to their aid and came into contact with the substance. Three responding police officers were also taken to the hospital for reported “minor” injuries.
It is not clear if the woman was targeted or if this was a terror attack. No description of the suspect has been released as of this writing.
