arya mosallah acid attack prank

A London-based YouTube vlogger is under fire for a recent prank involving him throwing cups of water into the faces of unsuspecting strangers.

22-year-old Arya Mosallah recently posted the video prank to YouTube. And while it quickly went viral, many have criticized him for his thoughtlessness, particularly since actual acid attacks have been on the rise in the U.K. in recent months, with an average of two per day, and more than 400 attacks since April. This puts the U.K. at the highest rate of acid attacks in the world.
