Three men have been arrested after a suspected acid attack at a pub left a dad-of-two with facial injuries.

Adam Tickner, an assistant headteacher, was with his wife and friends at Ye Arrow pub on Boley Hill, Rochester, in Kent, on Saturday 13 September when he suffered burns from a corrosive substance thrown on his face, eyes, mouth and throat.

Kent Police said a 23-year-old, a 19-year-old and a 21-year-old, all from Essex, were arrested on suspicion of assault in the days following the incident.

They have since been bailed while enquiries continue.
