In the early hours of Friday morning, a significant police operation was launched in East London, marking the third day of an extensive manhunt for an Afghan man suspected of acid attacks. The Metropolitan Police spearheaded this operation, involving approximately 120 officers, including specialist units and the Territorial Support Group (TSG).

The operation commenced from a rear carpark of an East London police station, with officers donning Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) reinforced acid-proof suits and gas respirators for the raid on a domestic property. The operation’s scale has been compared to exceed that of the Wayne Cousins case, with resources from various Metropolitan Police specialist teams, including the Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear departments, being mobilized.
