AT least 12 people had suffered burns from a suspected "strong acid" attack as about 600 revelers were evacuated from an east London club, local police said Monday.
The incident occurred at about 1:10am as 10 were taken to hospital to be treated.
A spokesperson with London Fire Bridge said that a "strong acidic unknown corrosive substance" was thrown inside the venue, Mangle E8 in Dalston.
"It was identified by a PH paper test as a strong acidic substance," he said.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said earlier the injured were treated for minor burns and their injuries are not life-threatening.
