A NORTH-EAST shopkeeper had ammonia sprayed in his face by robbers.
The raiders escaped with cash from the Blaydon Discount Store, Harriet Street, Blaydon, near Gateshead, on Saturday.
The man suffered burns to his eyes but was released from hospital after treatment. Two men are helping police with their inquiries.
