BREAKING: Manhunt for acid attacker after girlfriend and pal doused in hydrochloric acid, one airlifted to hospital

SPAIN has scrapped post-Brexit visa requirements for UK artists on short-term tours in what some industry leaders are calling a "big victory".

A MANHUNT is underway for an acid attacker who doused two women with hydrochloric acid.

The sickening attack occurred in Cartama, Malaga, this afternoon, leaving both young victims seriously injured.

The attacker is believed to have sprayed the girls, one of them his girlfriend, from his car.

Both victims have suffered burns to their body and face, with one so severe the medical responders called in a helicopter to have her airlifted to hospital.

The other has been transported by ambulance.

Guardia Civil officers are now tracking down the partner of one of the girls after identifying him as the main suspect.
