Sick yobs spark acid fears as they film themselves hurling mystery liquid at sleeping passengers from Lucozade bottle

YOUNG thugs terrorised petrified commuters by spraying a mystery liquid on them – with fears that it could be ACID.

In a sick twist, the youths even filmed themselves, uploading videos with the caption “don’t sleep on the job” as they sprayed a sleeping passenger.

Acid attackers are known to use the same technique of putting acid into a bottle which looks like it’s just a harmless soft drink.

The shocking video shows the two teens spray the liquid at a male commuter, a man travelling with luggage down as escalator and a woman looking at her phone.

In a picture posted on social media, the duo warned “No-one catch the Victoria line.”

Chillingly, the video echoes a similar attack on a teenager earlier this year – which left him requiring hospital treatment.

James Turvey, 18, was attacked with acid in Stratford when a balaclava-clad clan sprayed him with a substance from Lucozade bottles.

The teen suffered irritated skin around his eyes whilst three people were rushed to hospital.

Their attacks were condemned online, with Twitter users disgusted by the pair’s actions.

One wrote: “Why can’t people like this just grow up?

“Too many acid attacks around to even suggest doing something like this.”

Another added: “With all the acid attacks happening, this is ridiculous.”

A spokeswoman for the British Transport Police said they had not received any complaints of anti-social behaviour on the Victoria Line in relation to the incident.

The rise in acid attacks means that police officers in East London are being issued with test kits so they can check the contents of suspicious bottles of liquid found on people stopped and searched in the street.
