  • Arthur Collins, a suspect in Easter Monday's acid attack at East London club Mangle E8, has been arrested. Collins, 24, was apprehended by police at an address in Rushden, Northamptonshire, on Saturday. As the main suspect connected to the incident, which left two partygoers partially blinded and others disfigured, he's been charged with 14 counts of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm and one count of throwing corrosive fluid on a person. Another man, Andre Phoenix, has also been charged with seven counts of grievous bodily harm, according to the Metropolitan police. Mangle E8, formerly The Laundry, was hosting a Lovejuice Warehouse Party on Sunday, April 16th, when trouble flared up and the acid was sprayed. Around 20 people suffered burns. Police have yet to identify the noxious substance.
