        20 people were injured (2 blinded) allegedly by this man & acid. I would say it is reasonable to call this his capture breaking news.

        This is news, I'm debating the importance of making this a Breaking News alert on the BBC. Please look outside the centric world of London.

        Capture of an alleged perpetrator of violent crime in Britain being reported by the British Broadcasting Corp' as Breaking News is natural.

        Regardless of who he is I think the two people left partially blinded and the others that were injured care an awful lot.

        It was widely reported on the news well before any mention of a 'celebrity.' Same day as the axe attack in a Manchester club.

        Come on BBC, you're not the sun/daily mail, leave the tabloid BS to the rags, was there any real need to mention Ferne in this tweet?

        Who TF is Ferne McCann anyway? TV star? Never heard of her. Has she been in something rubbish? I think it's news though...
