According to police, the victim, a man aged in his 20s, was driving in the Sunwich Street area at approximately 6.30pm on Saturday, 05 August, when he became aware that he was being followed by another vehicle.
When the victim stopped his car, a number of people got out of the second vehicle and one of the suspects threw a suspected corrosive liquid over the man.

"Our investigation is underway to determine who was involved and a motive behind this attack.
