Vicious acid attack on group of teenage boys

An investigation is underway in Essex after an acid attack on a group of teenagers may have left a boy permanently blind in one eye.

Nick Dixon joins us live from Essex where five boys - aged between 15 and 17 - were approached in the early hours of Sunday morning. The group were trying to get a taxi home outside Ockenden when a man approached them with a bottle hidden in one hand. The attacker then proceeded to pour acid over all members of the group, leaving two very seriously injured in hospital with burns to their eyes and mouth.

Police are very keen to speak to anyone who may have been in this area on Saturday night - you can contact Essex police directly on 01245 491491.
