Man Arrested After Acid Attack Injures Teenagers Outside London School

A 14-year-old girl suffers potentially life-changing injuries in a suspected acid attack outside Westminster Academy, with police investigating possible links to a school dispute.

A 35-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm following the attack outside Westminster Academy in central London.
The attack left a 14-year-old girl with serious injuries, a 16-year-old boy with less severe injuries, and a 27-year-old school staff member who has since been discharged from the hospital.
The suspect, described as a tall, slim Black male, allegedly fled the scene on an e-scooter, prompting an ongoing police investigation and appeal for witnesses.
The girl's family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to support her medical care and long-term recovery, emphasizing her need for community support.
The school was temporarily closed to facilitate the investigation, with authorities ensuring safety measures are in place as it reopens.
