Chemical attack in Nottinghamshire as man has 'corrosive substance' thrown in face

A man has been taken to hospital following a chemical attack in Nottinghamshire. The 30-year-old victim was walking along an alleyway leading to Longhill Rise, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, on Thursday, July 28, when he was approached by two men.

They spoke to the victim before one of the men punched him twice and the other threw the corrosive substance in his face. The victim called East Midlands Ambulance Service and was later taken to King’s Mill Hospital.

His injuries are not believed to be serious at this stage. Police are now asking for the public’s help following the incident.
