Sketch of the suspect according to discription
According to Sky News reports, a mother has suffered burns after acid was thrown at her as she walked with her six-month-old baby by a man who had racially abused her.
The attack happened as the 29-year-old victim entered a subway leading to Salford Shopping City in Broad
Street in Pendleton, Greater Manchester.
The woman - who was pushing a pram - heard a man with a British accent make a racist and a sexual comment to her before feeling a liquid being thrown on her back, a police spokesman said.
When she turned around she saw a man in his 40s holding what appeared to be a plastic container.
He then threw more of the liquid onto her chest before running away in the direction of Broad Street.
The unnamed woman suffered burns to her chest and back and is now in a stable condition in hospital.
The baby was not injured in the attack, which happened at around 2pm on Thursday.
The man is described as being white, of stocky build, 5ft 10in to 6ft 2in tall, had very short, dark hair and a bald patch at the back
