A father who was left permanently injured in a devastating acid attack has opened up about one of the most difficult moments of his recovery, wondering whether his young son would still recognize him.
Andreas Christopheros was 29 years old when a stranger arrived at his home in Truro, Cornwall, in December 2014 and threw a pint of sulphuric acid in his face. The attack left him blind in one eye and caused severe burns and injuries to his face, arms, and body. It was later discovered that the attacker mistook Andreas for someone else and attacked the wrong person.
“I saw this red van come down the road,” Andreas recalls, speaking to LADBible Stories.
“And I clocked the red van, because it was exactly the same make, model, and colour as one of the vans that we have, one of our staff members uses for work.
