Two women suffered facial injuries and two other travellers, all in their twenties, were left nursing burns following the attack.

One has a possible eye injury, according to the prosecutor's office.
It is understood the tourists were in Gare Saint-Charles station in Marseille just after 11am this morning when the 41-year-old female attacker sprayed them with hydrochloric acid.

Hydrochloric acid, if strongly concentrated, can cause severe burns. It can also be dangerous if it comes into contact with a person's eyes.
