Cops released images of three men after the toddler was injured in a suspected acid attack in Home Bargains in Worcester yesterday afternoon.

Police said the boy was taken to hospital where he is being treated for serious burns to his arm and face.

Superintendent Mark Travis said: "The incident will shock the community. We're carrying out an enquiries to identify those responsible."

The incident occurred at around 2.15pm in Home Bargains on Shrub Hill Retail Park, Tallow Hill, Worcester.

Chief Superintendent Mark Travis added: "At this time we are treating this as a deliberate attack on a three-year-old boy."

He continued: "The incident will rightly shock the local community and I would like to reassure local people that we are carrying out a thorough investigation to identify those responsible.

"At this time, the motive for the attack is unclear. Officers are working hard to establish exactly what happened and what the substance involved was.

That is disgusting. That poor wee child. I hope they get caught and punished severely. Acid attacks are evil and horrific in general but on a child? I feel sick.

It is absolutely beyond me why anyone would want to attack a 3 year old child in this way, acid attacks are so cowardly and truly life changing for those involved and i don't care what the reason for this is give the lot of em life !

Absolutely despicable act of cowardice to target a child. Sounds like some kind of revenge attack or something as police are saying it is targeted. Were it my child they had better hope the police caught them before I did.

Poor baby.....an innocent life ruined by grown men is sickening

[parmnion]

Jail obviously doesnt bother people...kirks right..

[smudgie]

Horrific.
How anybody could attack a child in anyway is beyond me, but this is truly evil.

And we know this how?

Vile inhumane beings mind.

This act is sickening, depraved and inhuman and if I had a choice of wishes between winning the lottery jackpot or having these ****ing cowardly scum caught, imprisoned for NATURAL life, and TORTURED for every day of that time, then I would forego the Lottery win.

how many more acts like his do we have to witness before the bleeding-hearts admit that liberalism has eroded the British Justice system?

Reinstall DISCIPLINE in our prisons, bring back CORPORAL Punishment, Whole-of-life sentences, AND Capital Punishment for certain categories of crime because short sentences in 5* hotels are NO deterrent at all.

And **** that criminal's loophole-ridden 'Human Rights Act' - it is TIME that the VICTIM'S 'Human Rights' came first and time that the British Justice System PROTECTED the innocent citizens of this country instead of the perpetrators.

Godspeed that poor little mite's full recovery.

[Cherie]

Nasty bastards I expect this is revenge on a girlfriend, they will get their just desserts inside hopefully

[Strictly Jake]

I honestly cant believe what i have just read

[Kazanne]

What sort of mind would consider doing that to an adult let alone a child ? This child will suffer for the rest of his life, and the scum that did it will be free in a few years to get on with theirs,it's disgusting, and if it's the 3 in the pic, well what bloody cowards they are.

[Scarlett.]

What the ****

[Toy Soldier]

I genuinely can't get my head around this at all. ****ing three years old? When I first read it I thought it must have been an attack on an adult that had missed and accidentally hit a child, but no, it was a deliberate attack on a three year old. It's honestly unfathomable.
