This is the horrific moment a young mother-of-two was blinded and left badly scarred after her jealous ex threw acid in her face.

Renurak Boonpornsamrit, 36, was working in a department store in Nonthaburi, Thailand when she was cornered by former lover Thaweesak Ngamsanit, 39. 

He drenched her with a substance and as Renurak stumbled around the store in agony, her attacker sprinted out of the shop and through the car park.

CCTV captured the moment of the attack with Thaweesak crowding his former partner into an aisle before throwing the acid over her.

Renurak was left in agony with severe burns across her whole body. 

She was treated outside the shop with water before an ambulance arrived to rush her to hospital in the Bang Bua Thong district.

Police arrested her attacker and ex-boyfriend four hours later and he was taken to hospital with minor burns from where the acid had splashed onto him.

Renurak later said that she had lived with her attacker and that he had been a good man and looked after her at the start of their relationship. 

The couple dated for around nine months before they split in September after he became abusive.

Doctors said Renurak had suffered severe burns on her face, arm, chest and legs.

They fear she may be left permanently blind and scarred by her serious injuries.

Police said that Thaweesak, who was left with minor burns, had confessed to the attack and would be dealt with when the full extent of his victim's injuries became clear.

Thaweesak arrived at the store attempting to reconcile with his ex. 

However, after Renurak rejected his advances, he splashed the drink in her face that he had prepared beforehand.

Police found and arrested him at about 9pm that night.

Two of Renrak's colleagues said that Thaweesak had been jealous and abusive for a long time. 

Police confirmed that they arrested Thaweesak and would charge him once the full extent of his victim's injuries became clear
