A phone shop manager has bravely revealed his destroyed face after he was doused in acid as he walked out of a cinema. Samir Hussain left a screening of Straight Outta Compton when he was attacked with what police believe was sulphuric acid. The 28-year-old was in agony as the acid burned into his flesh and said it was only because he shielded his face that he was not blinded. He was left badly scarred and now has to wear an uncomfortable face mask 24 hours a day as he recovers from the assault in the car park of Crawley Leisure Park in West Sussex, between 1 and 1.30am on August 30.
