CLUB ACID ARREST
TV star’s boyfriend held on suspicion of attempted murder
REALITY TV star Ferne McCann’s boyfriend has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after an alleged acid attack.
Arthur Collins, 25, had been on the run since the incident at a London nightclub on Easter Monday that blinded two women and left another 18 people with burns.
He was arrested by armed police in Rusden, Northamptonshire, on Saturday night.
The Only Way Is Essex star Ferne, who is reportedly pregnant with Collins’s child, was not with him at the trendy Mangle club in London’s Hackney at the time of the incident.
She begged her boyfriend last week to hand himself in.
A police spokesman said: “Collins has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. He’ll be taken into custody at a London police station.”
A second man, Andre Phoenix, 21, was arrested in London on Friday and has been charged with seven counts of grievous bodily harm.
