Police are investigating an incident in which a corrosive substance was thrown at a man on the Stratford Road on Tuesday afternoon (24/07).
The man, who is in his 30s, was riding his moped along Stratford Road at around 3:40pm when a group of four men started shouting at him and then threw the liquid substance at him.
He was taken to hospital with injuries to his face. He was later discharged and is recovering from his injuries at home.
The investigation is at an early stage, the motive is unknown and police are keeping an open mind.
