Two men have been taken to hospital after a "suspected acid attack" in east London.
The pair were treated after an unknown liquid was thrown at them.
The men, believed to be in their late teens, flagged down police at around 7pm on Tuesday, near Roman Road, Bethnal Green.
Tower Hamlets police said officers, London Ambulance service and London Fire Brigade were dealing with a "suspected acid attack".
The attack is the latest in a spate of incidents involving corrosive liquids in north and east London over recent weeks.
A video of the latest incident posted on Twitter shows a topless man pouring water over his face and torso as paramedics tend to him.
Another man is seen sitting on the pavement, also receiving medical attention.

Photos show what is believed to be one of men's jackets, with holes melted through the fabric.
Bethnal Green and Bow MP Rushanara Ali called for "urgent action" from the Home Secretary Amber Rudd.
She added: "It's unacceptable that another attack with a corrosive substance has occurred in east London."

Truth be told, though, Russia’s already doing pretty well. In just a few months, Putin’s intrigues have probably influenced the outcome of an American presidential election and produced a basket of spoils for Mother Russia, including bitter feuds between the White House and the CIA, rifts between the US and its allies, damage to the American press’s legitimacy and public standing, a standoff between the White House and the federal courts over immigration orders, and the slow  sabotage  of American government through neglect and mismanagement.

Clinton says false stories on Facebook helped Trump win election

By
Hillary Clinton on Wednesday said hoaxes and false news stories on Facebook contributed to her loss in last year's U.S. presidential election, adding to a list of factors she blames for her defeat. The former Democratic candidate said earlier this month that interference by Russian hackers and then-FBI director James Comey helped tip the election to Republican President Donald Trump. Speaking at a technology conference near Los Angeles, Clinton on Wednesday mentioned Facebook by name and said that fake stories spread on the social network influenced the information that people relied on. "The other side was using content that was just flat-out false and delivering it in a very personalized way, both sort of above the radar screen and below," Clinton said during an on-stage interview at the Code conference. A representative for Facebook could not immediately be reached for comment. Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said just after the November e
