Brother’s Emotional Plea as Police Hunt Chemical Attack Suspect

Abdul Ezedi is wanted over a terrifying chemical attack in Clapham, South West London. A mother and her two young daughters were doused with a corrosive substance. Horrifyingly, Abdul allegedly tried to run over the mother with his car during the same incident.

Hassan Ezedi said: “If I knew where he was, I’d turn him in for what he did. I don’t know if he’s alive or where he is now. I saw him briefly.”
