An alleged chemical attack at London’s Winter Wonderland on Sunday resulted in the hospitalisation of a man.
Police attended the Christmas market at about 8 pm following reports of an “altercation” between two groups of people.
A 22-year-old man was rushed to hospital after a bottle of alkaline liquid was allegedly hurled at him during the incident. He had non-life-threatening injuries. Police confirmed no other injuries were reported.
A 21-year-old man, an 18-year-old man, and a 16-year-old boy have been arrested.
A Met Police spokesperson said: “It was alleged that a bottle containing an alkaline liquid was thrown. A man who was splashed by the liquid was taken to hospital where his injuries were assessed as non-life changing. No other injuries were reported.”
Anyone with information about the incident is being urged to contact the Met Police.
A Hyde Park Winter Wonderland spokesperson said medical and security staff attended the scene and assisted the Met Police. The spokesperson also said: “We do not tolerate any acts of violence.”
The spokesperson told Metro: “We are aware of an isolated incident involving a corrosive substance during an altercation between a small group on Sunday evening, which resulted in a person being taken to hospital. Our medical and security staff attended the scene and we assisted the Metropolitan Police with their arrest of three individuals that evening.
“The safety of our visitors and staff is our top priority and we do not tolerate any acts of violence. We have robust security measures in place, including bag searches, CCTV, onsite security services, specially trained staff that flag suspicious activity, and extensive perimeter protection. We will continue to support the authorities with their investigation.”
I’m not sure why this was not on the main news, perhaps someone is keeping things quiet from the masses, or have incidents like this become normal these days?
Perhaps this was a hate crime that has been hushed up.
Just because things like these happen doesn’t imply that Winter Wonderland should be closed or that we shouldn’t go there; just be careful and have fun while you’re there. Winter Wonderland is a great spot to come to before Christmas.
To be fair, you have to watch your back wherever you go now. There is so much hatred, prejudice and animosity now, but we can’t live our lives inside a bubble. We have to go out, and we have to go to work.
However, it’s also awful what native Brits are being asked to do. We are being asked to close our eyes and ears to things, and pretend they’re not happening because if we don’t and we have an opinion as to what is going on – the ‘woke police’ will arrest you!
However, some people don’t need to be encouraged to cover their eyes and ears; they do it voluntarily and feel good about themselves because they think they’re being kinder than others who do see the patterns.
These people just won’t accept any patterns even when it’s staring them straight in the face.
They must adhere to their egotistical notion that they are superior to all of that at all costs. Some even march, claiming to be heroes in their own right, declaring their morality and denial.
Believe what you will. I didn’t vote for this, so my conscience is clear, and I’m sure there are a bunch of other people who didn’t vote for this either.
I’m not saying that native Brits never perpetrate crimes, of course, they do, but now we have more people here who are not native to this country, and if a native Brit went to another country and executed a serious offence they would be tossed into prison instantly.
It doesn’t matter though, Starmer loves these people and will still keep letting them in with open arms.
