Katie Price acid attack: Police issue statement urging witnesses to come forward

Police have issued a statement after Katie Price was left shaken following an acid attack on her vehicle.

The 46-year-old’s pink Range Rover was reportedly attacked with the substance last week. Price is currently in the process of moving out of her home the Mucky Mansion as the reality star faces bankruptcy.

The alleged incident took place on May 25, with Price, addressing it on her podcast, The Katie Price Show on May 28. She revealed: “So, my house is in the middle of nowhere, and I've had nothing but bad luck in that house. It doesn't matter what it is, it's bad luck. I can't wait to get out of it, like I've said on this show.”

Price continued: "Now, what's really scary is, a few months ago, people vandalised my gates, saying you f***g wh**e, and all of that. I've had lots of incidents, and now my car was parked by my front door and there's other cars parked there. Someone has thrown acid all over my pink Range Rover."

She added: “So I thought, 'acid is serious' and for someone to actually go and buy that quantity, to then think they can go a hundred metres up my driveway in the middle of nowhere and pour that on my car when we're all in bed asleep and I didn't hear anything."

Price who has received an eviction order on the Sussex home, reportedly has until June 26 to vacate the property. During a live recording of her podcast she revealed: "I absolutely have hated my mansion. I tell you why, nine years of hell I've had there. Fly-tipping, it's haunted... and I am living with it. And whoever buys that house, good luck! I hate it."

What have the police said?

Police have issued a statement appealing for any witnesses to come forward. Reported by The Sun, they said: "Officers engaged with the informant to identify any viable lines of enquiry. No reasonable lines of enquiry have been identified at this stage, but anyone with information that could help is asked to contact police online or via 101, quoting serial 1053 of 26/05."
