The man, 24, was suspected of having an affair with a married Muslim woman. She has since been warned her life could also be in danger
Her alleged lover is fighting for his life after a masked gang stabbed him twice and forced him to swallow sulphuric acid.
The assailants also poured acid over his body and are feared to have beaten his face with bricks, leaving him blind in one eye.
Two men, aged 19 and 25, have been charged with attempted murder and Scotland Yard have now revealed a 16-year-old has been re-arrested over the attack.
One witness, Kay Dice, 52, said: 'He was screaming and screaming. He was pleading for help.
'I thought he had a huge cross on his back, but in fact it was where his skin had peeled away.'
The victim's tongue was destroyed by the acid he was forced to swallow and his throat was severely damaged. He suffered skull fractures and the acid caused 50 per cent burns to his body.
It is not known if the man, originally from Denmark, will survive. Witnesses who saw him seconds afterwards said he wailed 'like a wounded animal'.
