"A substance - believed to be acidic - was launched at the teenagers and a staff member at Westminster Academy in Paddington at around 4.40pm yesterday.

Police are on the hunt for the assailant following the incident, which left a 14-year-old girl hospitalised with potentially life-changing injuries.

A 27-year-old woman has since been discharged from hospital after the attack, while a schoolboy, 16, is being treated for non-life threatening or life-changing injuries.

Two officers were also sent to hospital 'as a precaution' after reportedly feeling sick.

Westminster Academy have since announced their temporary closure today following the incident."

"The principal of Westminster Academy,
Mrs Numera Anwar,
has shared a message as the school remains closed today.

Her message read:

'One pupil, a teacher and a member of the public have been injured in an incident outside the school building on the main road involving an acid-like corrosive substance.

This was a distressing incident which took place after school hours when students and staff were leaving the school site.
We are offering support to families and relatives of all involved.

This is a difficult time for our community
and I took the decision to
close the school today to allow for a thorough investigation and to ensure the school can resume normally from tomorrow with all safety measures in place'."
