Thanks to @Fox for posting this in the news thread:

Gangs using cars as weapons seems to increasingly be a thing. There was one down the road from us the other week which was accompanied by an acid attack:

I can find this:

Was this it? No mention of an attack with a car in the article, though.

It's really depressing to see acid attacks happening again. I don't know if they ever went away, but there seemed to be fewer for a while.

Yep that's the one, my friend lives on Downs Road and saw it. I seem to remember it being a Friday night not that long ago and I remember her saying about the men who were attacked taking their clothes off. I think the attackers may have tried to hit a group of people with a car and failed just before, which may be why it's not mentioned in the article.

Or the Gazette got the details from the police and they just mentioned the acid attack - the article seems to be based on a police call for witnesses and the Gazette didn't speak to anyone at the scene.
