Boy hurt in acid attack

A THREE-YEAR-OLD boy suffered severe burns on his face and arm during a suspected acid attack in England that investigators think was deliberate, police said Sunday.

West Mercia police Chief Superintendent Mark Travis said police were working to identify the substance that burned the child on Saturday at a discount store in Worcester.

A 39-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm. Three others were being sought for questioning and police released photos to generate public tips.
