Corey McFarlane shared pictures of his daughter’s injuries

A 14-year-old girl has been left her with ‘severe injuries’ that require urgent and long-term medical care after a suspected acid attack outside a school in west London.

Three people – the schoolgirl, a boy aged 16 and a 27-year-old woman – were all hurt in the incident outside Westminster Academy, Westbourne Park, on Monday afternoon.

Police are hunting for a ‘lone suspect’ who appeared on an e-scooter and threw the ‘corrosive’ substance at the two pupils.

A fundraiser has now been set up for the girl by her father to pay for her care and support.

Corey McFarlane said his ‘beautiful’ daughter was the victim of the ‘horrific acid attack’ outside Westminster Academy.

‘Words cannot express the shock, pain, and trauma she is going through right now, both physically and emotionally,’ he wrote.

‘This senseless act of violence has left her with severe injuries that require urgent and long-term medical care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and mental health support.

‘As we focus on her recovery, we also need help to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice.

‘We are working closely with authorities, but any support we can get from the community to spread awareness, gather information, and assist the investigation would be deeply appreciated.’
