Boy held after ‘acid attack’ injured six

Six people were injured after a noxious substance was thrown during an incident at an east London shopping centre. Three of the victims needed hospital treatment after they were hit with the substance during an “altercation” between two groups of males at the Stratford Centre on Saturday evening.

There were scenes of panic in the centre in the aftermath of the incident.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.
