So far it seems to be road rage but what a horrendous thing to happen.

They need to think of new punishments for this kind of stuff.

Nine injured after 'corrosive substance' thrown in Clapham, south London

The Metropolitan Police is trying to track down a man seen fleeing the scene, with a police helicopter involved in the search.

An eyewitness, who asked to stay anonymous, told Sky News: "There was a man in a white car with two children. It looked like he tried to run over a woman. They had been fighting.

"One girl in the back had her hand on the window - you can see the mark on the car.

"He grabbed one of the two children and violently grabbed them and slammed them on the floor.

"The lady then shouted 'My eyes! My eyes! Call the police, my eyes!' Then I saw him run off. It was all so traumatising."

That does not sound even remotely like road rage. It sounds like domestic violence. The use of a corrosive substance screams premeditation.

That sounds even more like domestic violence. Hypothesis: she's trying to escape him with her kids, he gives chase, rams their car, then enters the vehicle to attack them.

The nature of the attack is far too specific to be a random road rage event. Corrosive substance? An attack on the woman and the kids? No way these people were not already acquiainted with each other. This was personal, and it does not sound like mere road rage.

Jesus the title is a bit dramatic you scared the poop out of me.

A bit of a family dispute nothing more. Nothing to see here. Move along.

I wonder if there was any "family honour" involved.

Corrosive substances against women to disfigure their faces is a not uncommon punishment in a certain group of people...

 

[Ali195]

These acid attacks need real life sentences. It’s life changing injuries, that often blind and are essentially an inescapable reminder you have to face each and every day in the mirror. I’d rather be stabbed and take my chances.

Yes, I can think of a demographic that might be involved here.

 

[Hades]

What an awful thing. It definitely sounds like domestic violence and an acid attack. Poor kids and woman

 

[JonRGV250]

I’m assuming the police haven’t released a description of the attacker, because that’s a great idea when there’s a nutter running around with the capability to burn someones face off.

Have a quick google on “Country” and “City” and come back and share the difference.

Which decade did education get so bad things like the above have to be explained?

And yet his best mate provides people with all sorts on noxious liquids into Salisbury. Is Salisbury in London now.

men, normally always men.

I think this a sadist.. It’s attempted murder and there is no theology in law thankfully.

I, I don't think he was serious....

Unfortunately so. The original story had no details other than a collision.
Just such a scummy thing to do to someone, with life changing consequences.

 

[Stu999]

Utter scumbags who would carry out this sort of attack. Sickening.
