Two men suffering from burns were rushed to hospital last night in a suspected acid attack in East London.
Police were called to Cricketfield Road near Hackney Downs at 7.21pm following reports of a corrosive substance being thrown at an individual.
Witnesses said that a car chase had taken place just before the attack, with one vehicle being driven off the road into a wall.
They then saw someone throwing the corrosive substance over the two men.
