Teens arrested over spate of acid attacks in London
LONDON -- Five linked acid attacks in quick succession by men on mopeds in London left several people injured, British police said Friday -- the latest in a spate of such crimes that have alarmed residents and politicians.
The Metropolitan Police force said the 90-minute attack began late Thursday. Two men on a moped tossed a noxious substance into the face of a 32-year-old moped driver, then jumped on his vehicle and drove away.
The pattern was repeated across a swath of east London. At least one victim, a man in his 20s, was left with life-changing injuries, police said.
Two teenage boys, one 15 and one 16 years old, were arrested Friday on suspicion of robbery and grievous bodily harm, and police appealed to the public for more information.
