London (AFP) - Delivery rider Jabed Hussain was waiting at a traffic light one night in east London when two attackers sprayed acid in his face and stole his moped.
It was one of hundreds of attacks in the British capital every year that have prompted government intervention and left the city's police force asking the public for help to tackle the crime wave.
Hussain recalled feeling "burning on my face" during the robbery in Hackney.
"If they want to take my bike, there are a lot of weapons... why (have) they got to choose the weapon of acid?" he told AFP as he returned to the spot where the attack happened.
The number of assaults is increasing rapidly.
The British capital saw 454 acid attacks reported last year, up from 261 in 2015 and 166 the year before.
Hussain suffers from chest problems after swallowing water which he believes contained traces of the acid, although his helmet protected much of his face and he has no visible scars.
A pizza delivery driver attacked in north-east London last month was not so lucky, left in a critical condition after being sprayed with acid while his helmet visor was up.
- 'Scared' Londoners -
Jaf Shah, head of the London-based Acid Survivors Trust International, said victims were "incredibly strong, resilient and courageous individuals".

The factors that destroyed Western Civilization: The irreplaceable loss of the best genetic stock in Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Russia from 1914-1945. Widespread adoption of birth control and abortion that markedly limited the endemic population. The change of immigration laws in the 1960’s in the US,France, Britain and most of Europe that allowed massive immigration and migrations from non European lands. An adoption of agnosticism by the remaining native population that has led to moral nihilism.
The UK asks for barbarians and gets barbarian behavior......is any rational person surprised?
Notice they chose a victim named “Hussein” since these attacks are associated mostly with muslims.
They HAVE knife control. Seriously. There are even regulation on kitchen knives.
Next, grapefruit spoons.
Theresa, we found your circus _and_ your monkeys.
Angleterristan.
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
see his banner go!
this is very popular in India though usually more for domestic disputes. unfortunate that it has now spread to robberies. i expect we will start seeing it soon in silicon valley where those of indian origin will soon outnumber anglos.
As the diaper headed scumbag mayor of London said...part and parcel of living in a big city.
“The factors that destroyed Western Civilization: The irreplaceable loss of the best genetic stock in Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Russia from 1914-1945. “
From a biological science standpoint, that makes no sense. The best genetic stock does not kill itself off.
The best genetic stock is in fact one of those guys who has 20 kids from 10 different mothers, from a pure scientific genetic biology standpoint.
And, the best left Europe decades ago to America.
The Brits have their socialist utopia, they voted for it, gave up their firearms and lecture us on what we should do. In 20 years the UK will be run by Islamists, as will all of Europe.
“And, the best left Europe decades ago to America.”
Oops.
That should read centuries ago.
“gave up their firearms”
Did they ever have firearms?
Don’t guess that “new normal” is working out so well for them, is it.
I am starting to wonder if people from Europe will start running over to the United States when they are nearing extinction.
Yeah but they are keeping Trump out because he is a threat
They just refuse to accept the facts..Muslims.
Huh? “Sprayed” acid? I thought acid had to be ingested with a sugar cube in order to achieve that groovey high?
Did they ever have firearms?
In the Sherlock Holmes classic, HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES, Holmes asked an associate if he were armed. Lestrade answered, “As long as I have my pants I have a pocket and as long as I have a pocket I have something in it.” His revolver was soon to be used.
