Arson attack at Jewish school

Hackney, London – A suspected arson attack occurred at the Talmud Torah Toldos Yakkov Yoser school in Heathland Road in Hackney.

 

No one was hurt at the scene.

 

DC Nick Bull, from the Violent Crime unit in Shoreditch, said: “An investigator at the London Fire Brigade confirmed that no accelerant was used but believes that the fire was started on purpose, because two separate fires in two separate rooms were started at the same time.”

 

CCTV did not cover the area, but police are still appealing for witnesses and information about the attack.
