A 14-year-old girl has been left with potentially life-changing injuries, while a 16-year-old boy is in hospital, after a substance – believed to be acidic – was thrown at them by a male who approached them on the street outside their school, police have said.
Officers are hunting a male suspect who they believe rode to and from the scene at Westminster academy in west London on an e-scooter, and covered his face as he launched his attack on Monday afternoon. Detectives have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
