A Salford woman had acid thrown at her in a racist attack as she pushed her baby in a pram along a street.

The 29-year-old was walking along Broad Street in Pendleton on Thursday when she was approached by a man in his 40s.

He made a sexual and racist comment to her before throwing a container of corrosive liquid over her.

The victim, who is black, was taken to hospital with burns to her chest and back, and is in a stable condition. Her baby was not injured.

A police spokesman said it was believed to have been a random attack on the woman and it was being treated as a hate crime.

Jeez, what a world ..... :sad:

The man was described as being white, of stocky build, 5ft 10in to 6ft 2in tall, had very short, dark hair with a straight hair line and a bald patch at the back.

He has blue eyes, a dimple in his chin and a red mark like a burn on his bottom lip and he spoke with a British accent.

He was wearing a sleeved dark grey jumper with a round neck, black tracksuit bottoms with a grey and white stripe down each leg and black trainers.

If you know him, shop him ..... :mad:

That's horrific. After seeing what happened to Katie Piper, I can't help but fear for this woman...

True, but things like this remind of all the vile people I've heard about or met if you get me.

Atleast he didn't get her face though, I'd imagine that would be hardest to cope with (not that it makes it less horrific but you know what I mean) :( Katie Piper is an inspiration though.

Not by the sounds of it, they've given a description of him so I assume they don't know who he is
