From BBC News:

Naomi Oni had acid thrown in her face after getting off a bus in Lodge Avenue, Dagenham, in the early hours of 30 December.

She was on her way home from her job at a Victoria’s Secret store in Westfield, Stratford, when she was attacked.

Mary Konye, 21, has been charged with throwing or casting a corrosive fluid with intent to burn, maim, disfigure, disable or do grievous bodily harm.

Ms Konye, of Throckmorton Road, Canning Town, will appear before Redbridge Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.

Miss Oni suffered burns to her face and lost her hair and eyelashes. She had to undergo skin grafts.

A 28-year-old man who was arrested in February in connection with the attack has been released with no further action.
