Photograph: Steve Meddle/Rex Features Police have arrested two people in connection with an acid attack that left a woman disfigured. Naomi Oni, 21, suffered extensive injuries in the incident in Dagenham, east London, in December. Over the weekend several media organisations reported a theory that she may have inflicted the injuries on herself. On Monday the Metropolitan police said they had arrested a 21-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man, believed to be acquaintances of Oni. The woman was arrested on Friday and the man on Sunday, both on suspicion of being involved in causing grievous bodily harm. Both have been released on bail. In an unusual move, police said the woman arrested was not the victim. Detectives renewed their appeal for witnesses to the attack, which happened in the early hours of 30 December after Oni got off a bus near her home. She was partially blinded and was treated for weeks in a burns unit. The Met said: "Police would like to speak with a potential witness who got on the route 368 bus at Barking railway station and got off at Lodge Avenue at around 0045hrs on 30 December. He is described as a black man, around 20 to 30 years, 5'5" in height and of medium build, wearing a black jacket and a black hooded top with blue jeans."
