Acid has been thrown over a man in Crawley.

The assault happened during the early hours of Sunday morning outside Cineworld in the Crawley Leisure Complex.

The two suspects are described as white men in their late 20s or early 30s.  One had short dark hair and a beard.  They were in a dark coloured Peugeot.

The victim from Redhill was taken to East Surrey Hospital for initial treatment but was then transferred to Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead for specialist care.

The 27 year-old has suffered potentially life-changing injuries.
