'A teenage boy has been arrested after a double acid attack left a delivery driver fighting for his life and almost blind.
The suspect was arrested on suspicion of GBH today after a corrosive substance was repeatedly thrown into the
face of a fast food delivery driver in east London, yesterday evening.
The 32-year-old victim was stopped in Walpole Road at about 6pm by two men on a scooter, who allegedly attempted
to steal his moped.
He is in hospital fighting for his life with “terrible” eye injuries, police said.
Detectives are also investigating a second incident in which a corrosive substance was used in north London a short
time afterwards. DCI Gordon Henderson, of Waltham Forest CID, said: "This attack has left a man fighting for his life
and with terrible eye injuries.
"This was an innocent man going about his work as a delivery driver, who may never see again.”
The second man – also a 32-year-old delivery driver – was approached by two men on a scooter in Yarmouth
Crescent, Tottenham, who attempted to steal his moped and a corrosive substance was sprayed on his face.
He was also treated in hospital – but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.
It has not been established whether the two incidents are linked, but it is an active line of inquiry and detectives
in Tottenham and Waltham Forest are working together...'
