Two teenagers have been arrested after acid was thrown in people's faces in five attacks over one night in London.

Two moped riders attacked people in a 90-minute spree in Islington, Stoke Newington and Hackney on Thursday, stealing mopeds in two of the attacks.

An eyewitness said he heard a victim, who he believed was a delivery driver, "screaming in pain". One victim suffered "life-changing injuries".

Police are looking at whether moped theft was the motive for the attacks.

Officers said they were linking the attacks and boys aged 15 and 16 have been arrested on suspicion of robbery and causing grievous bodily harm.

Delivery services Deliveroo and UberEATS have confirmed two of the victims were couriers working for the firms.

The attacks happened amid rising concern about the number of assaults involving corrosive substances in London.

Why are acid attacks on the rise?

How to treat a chemical burn

Since 2010, there have been more than 1,800 reports of attacks involving corrosive fluids in the capital. Last year, it was used in 458 crimes, compared to 261 in 2015, according to Met Police figures.

Hackney resident Jon Moody said he was watching TV when he heard screaming and ran to the window.

I heard a high-pitched scream but thought it was the boys playing football... I heard more shouting and ran to my window," he said.

"I could see a man in serious distress, he was screaming in pain.

"There were only two police officers with the victim, they took out two large water canisters and poured it over him."

He said he believed the victim was a delivery driver and about 20 fellow delivery drivers turned up at the scene.

Hackney

The Hackney Gazette last week reported many delivery drivers are refusing to work in some areas after 21:30 BST because of robbery fears.

Takeaway delivery firm Deliveroo emailed drivers saying it was working with the Met Police and urged its staff to report any information about the attacks.

The email said the firm was "truly shocked" about what had happened.

The assaults happened amid increasing concern about the sharp rise in acid attacks in London.

London is under attack ATM.

Hope this isn't the "new thing".

When I was that age, toilet papering someone's trees was what we did for entertainment.

Can't see how punching out an old person is fun, splashing acid in ones face as fun, etc. The devil's evil is deep and Islam is the top problem in England. 

Kick out the Muslams and solve the problems..... Easy.

Crimes such as the one mentioned in the OP  are the result of sin.  Sin is not something that is exclusive to any one people group. 

People from different ethnicities and religions have committed crimes.

The difference is - are they following their scriptures when they do it?

When a Christian attacks someone he is going against the teachings of his belief. When a Muslim attacks a non-Muslim he is doing exactly as his sordid little book tells him to!

Am I missing the part where it says these two teenagers were Muslim?  :noidea:

Are we going to blame Muslims if the wind doesn't blow in the right direction as well?  Based on their names, it would appear more likely the victims may be Muslim, so perhaps this growing fear is blossoming into the promotion of violence.

The people of England are disarmed. These evil brats aren't able to get guns on the streets so acid is their weapon of choice. Ideally they'd be punished in the same way. And then sentenced to life without parole so the rest of England is free of their evil. And that evil is caged where it belongs. Fighting to survive among greater more numerous evils. But England is in its depraved concessionary stage at the moment so that isn't going to happen.

Thanks wingnut.  That was basically the point I was trying to make.

If a crime has happened.. and if it could be types of crimes that around the world has possibly been committed by people of different religions and ethnicities.. [i.e.- throwing acid] .... 

So then why is one group of people automatically blamed for the crime when it is not yet publically known who the teens are.. or what religion.. if any.. they are?

How is this fair or just?

 

Sorry - no offence intended to anyone.  Just don't understand.  Thanks.
