Detectives have released CCTV images of two men they want to speak to after a man was attacked with a 'corrosive substance' in Oldham on Wednesday evening (May 11). Police were scrambled to the incident at an address on Burlington Avenue shortly before 10.40pm, where a man was hospitalised.
Police raced to the scene after being called by the North West Ambulance Service, to a report of a man being attacked with a substance suspected of being acid. The victim is said to have answered the door when a man threw the liquid over him from a bottle before running away towards Manley Road. It is believed the attacker arrived at the address with another male.
The victim, 39, was treated at the scene by specialist emergency service personnel before being taken to hospital for treatment to serious facial burns. His condition is described as stable and not life-threatening.
