Nigerian dancer\u00a0Korra Obidi<\/strong>\u00a0fell victim to a brutal attack in London.<\/p>\n

In a video shared on her Instagram account, the\u00a0So You Think You Can Dance<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0alum recalled being physically assaulted by a stranger with a knife.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a knife,\u201d she captioned the video, which saw her being treated by first responders as a yellow knife lay next to her on the pavement. She continued, \u201cAcid attack on me in the U.K. in the middle of a live stream.\u201d<\/p>\n

She further noted, \u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of hate in the past but this physical assault is a wake-up call.\u201d The dancer also asked her followers to contact\u00a0Korramanagement@gmail.com\u00a0if they have any information \u201cas to the attacker, black female. 5 foot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old then wrote in the comments section, \u201cGuys I\u2019m in the hospital. Safety with travel is no longer a luxury but a necessity. The acid was salicylic and I was lucky. Love you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Metropolitan Police revealed to E! News that police received a call on Thursday afternoon regarding an assault in central London.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficers attended and found a woman in her 30s with a cut to her hand and reporting a liquid had been thrown at her face,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cShe was taken to hospital for treatment. The liquid was later confirmed to be a non-noxious cosmetic item.\u201d<\/p>\n

The spokesperson added, \u201cAnother woman left the scene prior to police arrival. An investigation is underway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Korra\u2019s sister also detailed the near-fatal incident on Instagram Stories.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey poured acid on my sister\u2019s face. They threatened to stab her all over her body. They have stabbed her on her hands just outside her Airbnb in Westminster, London,\u201d Nancy, who called the police at the time, shared.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am in Belfast. I left my sister in a secured apartment and somebody waited for my sister in front of her room,\u201d she added. \u201cMy sister has a strong and fit person, otherwise now she would have been gone, she would have been unalived. For what?\u201d<\/p>
