Woman Suffers Severe Facial Burns after Acid Attack by Man Outside Bar


THE TELEGRAPH: Woman suffered burns to face and neck after acid was thrown at her on a night out

A woman has suffered severe burns to her face, neck and arms after she had acid thrown over her during a night out.

Witnesses saw a man throw the acid outside the Turtle Bay bar and restaurant in Southampton.

Staff from the bar gave first aid before an ambulance arrived and described her injuries as "horrific".

A bar worker said: "The acid was in her whole face and eyes - she's probably going to be blinded.

"Neither her [sic] nor her attacker were actually guests here, we were just helping out and providing first aid treatment. She said it was two men.

"Her face looked like it was melting; it was quite clear there was a lot of damage. It happened just outside in the middle of the square."

The incident happened at 9pm on Friday. » | Nicola Harley | Saturday, September 19, 2015
