A man was injured by a suspected corrosive substance.
Two men are due in court after being charged in connection with a violent incident in York last week.
The 26-year-old man has been charged with wounding with intent.
He has also been recalled back to prison.
A 29-year-old man has been charged with wounding with intent, witness intimidation, criminal damage, possession of an offensive weapon and assaulting an emergency worker.
Both men have been remanded in custody and will appear at York Magistrates’ Court later on Thursday (25 April).
Two other men and two women have been released on bail.
Detective Chief Inspector Fionna McEwan commented:
“We have so far charged two people and arrested four others in connection with this violent incident in York.
“I’m grateful to the public for their help with this investigation but it’s important to stress that our inquiries are still very much ongoing. I continue to appeal to anyone who has any information to please come forward.
“Serious and organised crime will not be tolerated in North Yorkshire and we will robustly deal with any criminal behaviour.”
