Urgent hunt for man who threw boiling water at woman in shocking unprovoked attack | The Sun
COPS are hunting for a man who threw boiling water at a woman in a shocking unprovoked attack.
The woman was walking along a street in Southwark, London, in November last year when the man appeared.
The attacker – who was not known to the woman – then threw a liquid at her, which was later established to be boiling water.
Cops were called just after 5.30pm after receiving reports of an assault on Walworth Road.
The woman was then rushed to hospital for treatment.
Now, police have released an image of a man they believe may be able to help with their investigation.

Detective Chief Inspector Amanda Mawhinney said: "We are yet to identify a suspect in connection with this attack, and this will clearly be of concern to the victim.
"We have now released an image of a man we want to trace who we think could assist our enquiries.
"Anyone who recognises him or has information that could assist us is asked to make contact immediately."
