Andreas Christopheros had a pint of sulphuric acid into his face in 2014 Andreas, before the acid attack, and his wife Pia on their wedding day With acid attack victim Katie Piper who was attacked by her ex-boyfriend and an accomplice, causing major damage to her face and blindness in one eye If I knew what I do now, I'd have got into the shower and stayed there until help arrived. I remember yelling, 'Call 999, someone's thrown acid into my face,' as I kept my head under the tap – I did both instinctively, and those two actions saved my life.
