The manhunt for the alkali attack suspect Abdul Ezedi is continuing as police renewed their appeal for the public’s in help finding him.

Detectives have urged the 35-year-old from the Newcastle area , who is described as having very “significant injuries to the right side of his face” - to hand himself in after going on the run following Wednesday’s attack in Clapham, south London.

A 31-year-old mother, believed to be known to Ezedi, was attacked with a corrosive alkaline substance and remains “very poorly” and sedated in hospital, with her injuries thought to be “life-changing”.

The injuries to her daughters, aged three and eight, are “not likely to be life-changing”.

The wanted man was last seen at King’s Cross underground station on Wednesday night, where he boarded a southbound Victoria line train.

The Metropolitan Police said it has received “dozens of calls” about the manhunt, including possible sightings of Ezedi.
