- Arthur Collins, the boyfriend of TV personality Ferne McCann, has been identified as a person of interest in the case.
Police are on the hunt for a man named Arthur Collins, wanted for questioning related to Sunday night's acid attack at London nightclub Mangle E8.
Officers say the attack, which led to an evacuation of 600 people from the London Fields venue, sprung out of a dispute between two groups of people. Authorities say the scuffle eventually resulted in "a noxious substance being sprayed directly at two people and hitting others," causing non-life-threatening injuries for 20. (The BBC has a number of first-hand accounts from clubgoers.)
Police have issued photos of Arthur Collins, 25, who is wanted for questioning and is advised to turn himself in immediately. Collins is romantically linked to Ferne McCann, who has appeared on reality television shows such as The Only Way Is Essex, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and This Morning. McCann was not at Mangle E8 Sunday night, though Essex co-stars Jamie Reed, Jade Lewis and Chloe Meadows were reportedly present.
