Firebomb victims 'lucky to be alive' as Met Police treat East London arson attack as transphobic hate crime
Firebomb attack victims "lucky to be alive” as police treat East London arson as transphobic hate crime.The victim of a firebomb attack that gutted an East London flat have said they are "lucky to be alive" after Scotland Yard confirmed the incident is being treated as a transphobic hate crime.
With over £17,500 raised so far, the fundraising page pledges that a portion of the funds will go towards legal fees in the group's case against the letting agent and landlady for "not complying with legal standards". Harper said: “The first we knew of the fire there was a crackling from the heat and then the windows exploded, it was like a bomb going off.
Acting Ch Insp Dave Hodges said: "We do not tolerate transphobia and are working closely with the London Fire Brigade in Tower Hamlets to extend support to the three victims of what was clearly a very frightening ordeal."
