A man left badly scarred when acid was thrown in his face has said he relives the attack 15 or 20 times every day. Samir Hussain said covering his face with his hands saved his sight but he was left unable to fully close one eye.The 28-year-old, who is backing calls for controls on the sale of corrosive substances, said he felt the acid "eating away" at his face. He now wears a facial mask and said customers at the Kent shopping centre where he works often ask what happened. Mr Hussain, is backing calls for controls on the sale of corrosive substances such as sulphuric acid, battery acid, and powerful drain cleaners.
