Paul Laskey has healed his eye with a donated placenta.
It was confirmed that Battery acid was squirted in the face of Paul Laskey, 43, after his 16 year old son was mugged at knifepoint.
His left eye ‘melted’ away after the attack and his vision was saved by a ‘life-changing’ medical procedure using a donated placenta.
When the plumber and heating engineer went to apprehend his son’s mugger in Newcastle on February 5 2023, he was squirted in the face with a corrosive acid.
‘I couldn’t see and couldn’t breathe. It took my breathe away with how strong it was. I felt burning on my face.” He told Metro UK.
‘I wasn’t in a lot of pain because it had burnt through all the nerves.’
Paul added: ‘It was horrendous. I was off work for the first six months. It was all that was on my mind. It was just awful.
‘I immediately worried that I would lose it completely, which would have upended my life.
‘I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to work, drive, play football with or go to the cinema with my kids, like I love to do.’
