A 10-year-old girl is one of three victims of an acid attack in north London, police have confirmed.

A 36-year-old woman, and a 43-year-old man were also injured in the attack, the Metropolitan Police told The Independent.

No motive has been established and no arrests have yet been made, the spokeswoman added.

Police are appealing for information in their investigation into the attack that happened on Monday 12 July.

Officers were called to a block of flats in the Beaufort Park area of Colindale at approximately 7.20pm.

The three people were injured after a corrosive substance was thrown at them, the Met Police said.

They were taken to hospital and, at this stage, their conditions are not thought to be life threatening, the force added. The victims have since been discharged.

Some officers were also treated at the scene for the effects of the substance, and none of their conditions are thought to be serious.

Pictures of the scene show emergency services vehicles, including fire engines, on the residential street.
