Police are hunting a male who was wearing a mask or balaclava and riding an e-scooter.
A manhunt is continuing following a suspected acid attack outside a school in west London.
The attack left a 14-year-old schoolgirl with potentially life-changing injuries and also injured another teenager and a staff member.
The Metropolitan Police is hunting a male who was wearing a mask or balaclava and riding an e-scooter.
The attack took place outside Westminster Academy, Westbourne Park, after school hours on Monday afternoon.
The girl remains in hospital with potentially life-changing injuries.
A 16-year-old boy remains in hospital with non life-changing injuries, and the staff member, a 27-year-old woman, has been discharged.
Westminster Academy said the injured boy was a member of the public and not a pupil.
The school was closed on Tuesday, with lessons taking place online and many staff working from home. On Wednesday the school opened as normal with staff told to expect a police presence.
The Met said the two teens were approached on Alfred Road by a male “who threw a substance at them before fleeing down Harrow Road”.
The force described the suspect as a tall and slim black male wearing dark clothing and riding an e-scooter.
