Moment mask-wearing thugs throw bricks and petrol bomb into home in targeted attack
This is the shocking moment a pair of mask-wearing thugs throw bricks at someone's home before one launches a flaming petrol bomb through the front door in a targeted attack. Dorset Police have confirmed they are investigating the arson attack, which took place in Bournemouth at around 1.05am on May 15. Police and firefighters arrived on the scene and a man inside the property received a minor burn to his hand but did not need to go to hospital. And horrifying footage posted to the force's official X page shows the incident unfolding. Two hooded men, also sporting balaclavas, could be seen weaving their way between two cars on the property's driveway before one appears to throw a brick at the front external wall of the house. The other then lobs something at the same wall while the original perpetrator works away at lighting an object, doused in petrol, on fire. Two hooded men, also sporting balaclavas, could be seen weaving their way between two cars on the property's driveway before one appears to throw a brick Inaudible cries can be heard as the second figure backs onto the pavement before saying, 'let's go'. Someone who appears to be inside the house then replies: 'Hang on. Hang on. They're getting the proper [censored] out.' With the object now in flames, the man steps back to the edge of the drive before throwing it through the door. The blazing weapon then seems to explode before the pair then dart off together across the road. Dorset Police captioned the incredible video: 'APPEAL | We are investigating an arson at an address in Bournemouth and are issuing CCTV footage of the incident as we look to identify two suspects. 'Please get in touch quoting occurrence number 55250068737.' The pair arrived at the property on Montgomery Avenue in a dark-coloured Volkswagen Tiguan before commencing their attack and eventually leaving in the same vehicle. With the object now in flames, the man steps back to the edge of the drive before throwing it through the door Officers from the force attended along with the fire service who succeeded in putting out the fire. Detective Inspector Chris Bradford said: 'This was a deliberate and targeted attack, and we are carrying out a detailed investigation in a bid to identify those responsible. 'As part of our enquiries, we are now in a position to release doorbell CCTV footage of the incident with the audio as we believe this may assist members of the public with identifying two of the suspects.

Moment car ploughs into bare-chested thugs brawling on street with machetes in bizarre broad-daylight carnage
HORRIFYING footage shows the moment a car ploughed into machete-wielding thugs brawling on the street in broad daylight. The bare-chested yobs were captured on camera fighting on Clements Place in Dundee, Scotland. 4 4 As many as eight people were involved in the brutal street fight as shocked motorists watched on in horror. A number of thugs were armed with metal poles and machetes as the scrap spilled across a pavement outside residential properties at around 1.40pm yesterday. The aggression escalates and one of the men wearing an orange hi-vis top punches another one before starting to fight him and another man. A fourth man then begins wielding what appears to be a metal pole and hits the hi-vis man in the back. He then starts swinging it at another group of men waiting at a nearby van. More men wearing hi-vis vests then pour out the vehicle and chase after the guy with the pole. He is then knocked to the ground by the man who threw the first punch, and is repeatedly punched and kicked by two others. As one of the group leaps into the white van, the Mini reverses, smashing into the side of it during the wild scenes. A car engine and screeching tyres are then heard as a grey Mini appears and drives at one of pole man's attackers. The motor speeds between the van and another parked car and hits a man wearing a yellow hi-vis vest. A loud thud is heard as he hits the bonnet of the car before being thrown against a nearby lamppost and falling to the ground. One man then picks up the metal pole and smashes the van's windscreen with it. Shocking moment Chelsea fans brawl & throw glasses as violence erupts in Poland ahead of Conference League final The motor speeds between the van and another parked car and hits a man wearing a yellow hi-vis vest.

Supporters dscended on the Salt Market Square and clashed outside a restaurant on the eve of the final, with fans desperately trying to fend off police, throwing chairs and other objects towards them. Scenes turned sour after a reported series of 'scuffles' between fans and pepper spray was apparently unleashed on unruly individuals. Now police are searching for stragglers from Tuesday night and are even going undercover in plain clothes to root out misbehaviour, local outlet Wroclaw Wyborcza reports. 'The police assure that residents and true football fans can feel safe, because there are a lot of uniformed and plainclothes police in the city, who react immediately,' the outlet claims.

As objects were thrown their way, they decided to intervene and seemingly unleashed pepper spray on supporters. Pictures show armed police spraying a substance toward Chelsea fans in the market, as they attempt to flee the area. Following the incident, the Provincial Police Headquarters in Wroclaw released a statement. 'The uniformed officers reacted immediately after the incident, which resulted in no further escalation of the conflict or negative behavior,' the statement read.

'Foot patrols, monitoring from drones and helicopters, intensified activities on the streets and in key locations - the office enumerates and adds: - Firefighters from the Municipal Headquarters of the State Fire Service in Wrocław and rescuers are also ready to respond immediately, especially in the area of the stadium and all fan zones.'

To deal with the influx of fans, reportedly 2,000 police offers from around Poland have come to the city. Prior to the clash, it had been reported that authorities had already advised residents to limit travel. The authority of Lower Silesia's capital is believed to have released a press release to notify residents of three days of disruption ahead of the game. The fan clash comes just three weeks after French police were thought to have clashed with Paris Saint-Germain fans ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg clash with Arsenal. The Sun reported that police have used tear gas on the Parc des Princes faithful, after videos of them tangling with armed officers circulated on social media. In one of the clips, fans were seen being charged by police officers as they sought to flee. Some fans are seen covering their nose and mouths, with the caption alleging that tear gas had been fired into the crowds of supporters.

Chaos erupts in Paris streets after PSG victory over Arsenal
Published May 8th, 2025 - 08:49 GMT ALBAWABA - Paris recently witnessed a chaotic event after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) fans swarmed its streets to celebrate the football team's victory against Arsenal in the Champions League. Additionally, hooded youths were also spotted clashing with riot police. Things escalated when fans were spotted destroying public property and setting a car on fire, as clips of the incident swarmed the internet. Several social media users took to platforms such as X (formerly known as Twitter) and condemned the act, calling it "barbaric" and "disrespectful." According to the Daily Mail, the car that drove into the crowd left at least three people injured, one seriously, after they were sent flying, but the identity of the driver was not disclosed. Absolute chaos in Paris last night as North African/Algerian gangs destroy buses and attack the police. They are apparently 'celebrating' PSG's victory over Arsenal in the Champions League. This is their idea of fun. 🥲 — 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐔𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 (@thecasualultra) May 8, 2025 The hooded youths who are being referred to as "thugs" then chased the car, set it on fire, till it was forced to stop at the side street. Local police linked the incident to "football celebrations" and arrested more than 20 people by 2 a.m. Several others accused migrants of the incident, but their statements are baseless, since no official news outlet disclosed the suspects' identities. A social media user wrote, "Paris used to be the symbol of culture and power, now it's just another city lost to unchecked immigration." Another added, "I am so glad I went 20+ years ago before it went to hell. I will never go there ever again. Almost as bad as London." © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
