The Clapham chemical attack suspect’s movements are being planned as police continue to search for the man who injured a woman and her two young daughters.
Abdul Ezzedi is accused of throwing a corrosive substance on Lesser Avenue, causing life-altering injuries to a 31-year-old woman.
She was sedated at the hospital, but her daughters, aged 8 and 3, were not seriously injured.
Police are now piecing together his movements on Wednesday, when they say he wandered from Newcastle to south London before fleeing north of the Thames before disappearing on the Underground.
