A gang of cowardly thugs boasted they 'run Hackney' as they doused victims in acid in a sickening homophobic attack.
Nine bearded brutes launched the disturbing assault on innocent members of the public, which left one victim with a fractured eye socket and corrosive burns to his eyes.
The gang were all sentenced at Wood Green Crown Court, in London, on Thursday with seven put behind bars - and two given suspended sentences.
The nine men were sat in their cars on a crescent in the north east London borough when one - Onur Ardic - began arguing with a passerby.
Their victim tried to speak to Ardic, 27, but was quickly surrounded by the group before he was punched by Mustafa Kiziltan, 30.
