This ain’t no good:
Police rushed to a London tube station tonight after six people were injured in a massive acid attack.
Officers have arrested a man after a gang sprayed acid into a crowd near Stratford Shopping Centre in east London.
Dramatic video and images shared on social media appeared to show police attending to victims at Stratford tube station which is next to Stratford shopping centre and 200 yards from Westfield shopping centre.
There are no reports of injuries at Westfield.
Wow.

Acid attacks are not “incidents”. They are deliberate terror attacks. Stop normalizing this. #Stratford

‘A number of people have been reported injured at different locations – believed to be six people. We await further details.
‘One male has been arrested on suspicion of GBH. Officers remain on scene. A cordon is in place. Enquiries continue.’
Police said they were not treating the incident as terror related.Nate Higgins, who saw the emergency services arriving at the scene, told MailOnline: ‘There were a lot of police, a lot of fire engines and a lot of ambulances.
‘As I was leaving there were still more and more coming down the road. I was in the shopping centre when it happened and as I was coming out I saw them all arriving.
Sounds like a terror attack, but it could be just crime.
