A man who threw scalding hot water over a policeman in a horrifying racist attack has avoided jail.
Astrit Mala, 47, assaulted two police officers helping council staff evicting him from a property in Southall, West London on July 1 this year.
As they entered, Mala hurled the contents of a cup of tea into both of their faces, before grabbing a kettle and throwing boiling water at one policeman, leaving him with facial burns.
