Nine injured after 'corrosive substance' thrown in Clapham

Two children, their mother and three police officers are among nine people injured after a "corrosive substance" was thrown in Clapham in south London.

The fire brigade said they were called to a "chemical incident" and gave emergency care to a woman and her two children.

Three members of the public who went to help are understood to be among those hurt, as well as three police officers.

Pictures from the scene show a car with the doors open in the middle of the road and a helicopter is now involved in a manhunt to catch the person responsible.
