The incident allegedly started with “pushing and shoving” between a group of men, the prosecutor, Luke Ponte, told Wood Green crown court. “One of the young men, perhaps perceiving the threat of a knife, threw a bottle or a container of acid into the face of another young man. As that man went down in pain, the aggressor threw acid a second time, directed towards another man, and then threw acid a third time.”Ponte said there was no question that the person who threw the acid was Collins, who at the time was wearing a T-shirt with the word “Killer” on it. The jury watched CCTV footage that showed Collins throwing a liquid towards one man on the dance floor at about 1am. A week before the acid attack, Collins had sent a message to his sister saying: “Tell mum to mind that little hand wash in my car acid,” the court was told.
