A 15-year-old boy has been released on bail following an acid attack in east London that left six people injured.<\/p>\n
Six people were injured in what police described as an “altercation” between two groups of males at the Stratford Centre, east London, on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Ambulance crews treated six males at the scene for their injuries, and three of them were taken to hospital.<\/p>\n
The Met said the boy, held on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm, had been bailed until late October.<\/p>\n
Those reported injured were believed to be in a number of different locations, sparking initial fears that people had been sprayed at random.<\/p>\n
However the Met Police said those injured were connected to the initial attack.<\/p>\n
Ch Supt Ade Adelekan said: “I would like to be very clear concerning this incident.<\/p>\n
“What initially may have been perceived as a number of random attacks has, on closer inspection, been found to be one incident involving two groups of males.”<\/p>\n
No-one suffered life-threatening or life-changing injuries.<\/p>\n
