"Chemical attacks are happening
'almost weekly'
in Newcastle,
sources at the city's biggest hospital have told LBC after warning of an increase in patients being treated for burns to the face.

Concerned doctors at
Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary
have now told LBC they are treating
'multiple patients a month, if not per week',
who have suffered injuries to their eyes from what is believed to be caustic alkali.

One source said:
'Down in London alkaline attacks aren’t common,
but in Newcastle alkaline attacks to the face like that are getting really, really common'.

'We’re getting multiple, multiple of them a month,
if not per week.

There were two on the ward just before Christmas on the same day.
They were separate.
One had a machete wound to the neck too.

The consultants here who specialise in the retina,
so look after things with these attacks,
have been saying how common it's getting.

Consultants say it’s happening almost weekly.

It’s definitely multiple a month now'."

I wonder if he has been part of a group doing this. Maybe drug related or people owing money to people smuggling gangs.

It's worth noting (and I sincerely hope nobody is offended by my pointing it out) that bruising looks darker on dark skin simply because of the skin pigment.

His brother never mentioned it.
Quite the contrary, he talked about a wound - worried about the perp.

I did not see one on the picture they showed of him taken before the attack.

According to an article in the Mail ,posted above ,the police are saying the last sighting was of him leaving the tube station at Tower Hill.

I find it hard to believe they could not track where he went. The tower and bridge are huge tourist attractions and there must be numerous cctv cameras in the area.

I find it hard to believe too. Who knew it would be so easy to evade CCTV in London?

Yep. The 3rd most CCTV'd city in the world (in 2021), and climbing.

Of course, staying indoors might work for a bit, but he would need somewhere to stay, and then someone to look after his medical and everyday needs...

Is there any evidence that this guy has people still willing to take him in, given the horror of the crimes and the likely penalties (and public anger) once caught?

I wonder when (if it hasn't already) the search might pivot to looking for a dead man

I can imagine people wanting to help him. Either family or any criminal minded people he knows.

Someone must be helping him IMO.

He came to the UK undetected, didn't he?

Hide and seek seems to be his speciality.
He might stay holed up somewhere for a long time - provided there is food and water.

If he is part of a gang - I doubt anybody would "grass" him.
Revenge could be deadly.
Life is more precious than 20k reward, isn't it?

I agree with you about him being helped. If you are a criminal yourself though, how can you present yourself to the authorities and claim the 20K? I don’t think they will grass him.

By the way,
I learned the expression "grass sb" here, on UK WS threads (Liverpool gangs)

Until then, "grass" for me was forever green and beautiful
But,
We live and learn.

They would also be keen to keep him away from the authorities in case he gave away any information about the gangs activities and named any members.

I suspect that he will be taken out by his network of friends as they won't want him spilling the beans.
Imagine being hunted by police and a gang.

Perhaps he is already a corpse.

Look!!!
Who's here???

He buying all that? Planning to go off grid?

Ah, he left with only one bag.

Have you got a source for where it says he's being hunted by a gang? I haven't seen any gang-related references in the press and I'd be interested to read that.

Or buying stocks for someone else living off grid to last them whilst he was in London.
