Notting Hill Festival's "acid" attacks

In the UK females do risk having caustic substances thrown in their face. Only a relativel few incidents and often involving prior relationships with Islamic males who do not tolerate freedom or independence being demonstrated by female acquaintances.

The recent faux attacks on the final day of the Notting Hill Festival seemed to have involved only water and were apparently filmed for their "entertainment" value. Passersby observing the prank did not hesitate to run and in so doing there were some relatively minor trampling incidents.

It must have been a terrifying few moments before the victim realized that although she was soakec, her face was not burning and so the substance could not really be acid.
