A 28-year-old woman being treated in hospital after having acid thrown in her face has appealed for help in catching her attacker.
Police have released a photograph of the injuries she suffered in the "craven attack" on the doorstep of her home in Romford, north-east London.
The suspect is described as white, short, about 20-years-old, with a dark complexion and dark hair. He was wearing black clothing and spoke with an English accent.
The assault happened after the woman answered the door to a man who had asked to speak to "Michelle" shortly before 9pm on April 30.
He returned about 30 minutes later and squirted acid in her face from a bottle.
The victim, who is called Tara but has asked for her surname not be used, said she had been left "devastated" by the "cowardly attack".
"I don't understand why this has happened to me," she said.
"I feel devastated and am coming to terms with the fact I might have to bear the scars of this cowardly attack for the rest of my life.
"I was at home with my family at the time. It doesn't bear thinking about that this could have been one of the children instead of me as the man didn't even look up when threw it at me.
"He is a coward. Please call the police if you know anything at all."
Tara managed to shut the door after the attack and rinse her face with water while an ambulance was called.
She was taken to hospital and later transferred to a specialist burns unit where she remains in a stable condition, police said.
Her pet dog - a long-haired chihuahua - also required treatment after the attack but the animal is not thought to have suffered any long-term injuries.
Any witnesses or anyone with any information is asked to call Havering CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
