Boy, 3, seriously injured after being 'deliberately targeted' in acid attack in Worcester

A three-year-old boy has suffered serious burns after acid was thrown in his face.

The toddler was targeted in a "deliberate attack" at a Home Bargains shop in Worcester on Saturday. He suffered injuries to his face and arm in the incident.

A 39-year-old man has been arrested and police have released CCTV images of three men they want to question in connection with the attack.

Chief Superintendent Mark Travis, of West Mercia Police, said: "At this time we are treating this as a deliberate attack on a three-year-old boy.

"The incident will rightly shock the local community. At this time, the motive for the attack is unclear. Officers are working hard to establish exactly what happened and what the substance involved was.

"The three men in the photo may have information vital to our investigation. I am sure someone will recognise them and I would urge anyone with information to contact us as a matter of urgency."

I saw this on the news.

They think the men followed him and did it on purpose.

What a low, evil thing to do to anyone, let alone a poor three year old boy.

I bet this was some vengeance thing on the mum.

You know these cowards who throw acid should have it done to them! Pondlife Bastards.

Four  men have now been arrested.

Good, hope they get prison for a very long time

They?  The source said they have "three men they want to question", but only one suspect: "the man [who attacked the boy] was a skinny white guy."

They were with him, did they try to stop him?

Absolutely despicable!!!


But they looked like East Europeans to me...!

A mother whose three-year-old son was the victim of an ‘evil’ acid attack was living in a safe house after fleeing a family dispute, it was claimed last night.

The woman, thought to be from the Middle East, had been living with her three children in a quiet residential street in Worcester for the past eight months, neighbours said.

Her child suffered serious burns when a corrosive substance was sprayed or thrown over him as he sat in his pushchair in a Home Bargains store on Saturday.

The woman screamed ‘What have you done to my baby?’ after the thugs hurled the acid at the toddler in an attack which was captured on CCTV.


Three men, aged 22, 25, and 26, were arrested in London in the early hours of yesterday morning on suspicion of conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm.

Now a source close to the investigation revealed the mother, who has not been named, had fled to Worcester from Wolverhampton after ‘difficulties within her family’.

The source said yesterday: ‘The mother and her son are thought to be Middle Eastern.

‘She had moved to Worcester from elsewhere but hasn’t been here long. She had moved because of difficulties within her family.

Turns out it was Romanian Gypsies doing a "Honour" thing, the acid was ment for the Mother ! The benefits of immigration ??

Oh fantastic! Let's get rid of these horrible men.

Up date, Romanian Gypsies were hired by Afghan Husband to do it to his wife after she adopted Western ways and refused to wear Veil.

Sick Bastards. Hope they all get life, but of course they won't.

I hope the husband gets deported back to Afghanistan, if he was the cause of this horrific act.

You can't generalize from specifics.

But this is another specific example, on top of the millions of other examples...

I have not seen millions of other examples.  Perhaps you've been listening to rumors?

This is a story about one incident. If you want to make a quantitative argument, provide the proof.

Tommy Monk is full of shit...

The concepts of "proof" and "statistical evidence" are foreign countries to poor l'il Tommykins -- seems he would rather remain blissfuly ignorant for the rest of his life..
