A wild scene played out in an eleventh floor apartment in northeast London where a man said he had fireworks shot at him.
The London Police Service (LPS) said they were called to “a disturbance” at 114 Arbour Glen Cres. just before noon on Sunday.
Police saw smoke in the apartment and then contacted the London Fire Department (LFD).
“Police suspected the unit could be on fire,” explained Jeff Collins, district chief of the LFD. “It upgraded, became on fire and then we made entry, applied agent and knocked fire down and we're currently ventilating.”
Outside the building, a man was distraught sitting on the steps. Police told CTV News London that man was the owner of the eleventh floor apartment.
Speaking with him off camera, the man said he was a victim of a break and enter.
“I owed him drug money,” said the man who broke down in tears after the traumatic experience. “My front door was unlocked, and he came right in. He grabbed some roman candles and lit them, and I think he aimed them at me.”
