Police are investigating whether a house fire in east London that destroyed two floors of a three-storey house was an antisemitic hate crime.
The arrested man is suspected of arson with intent to endanger life, and also suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital. Det Ch Supt James Conway said: "Undoubtedly this will be extremely concerning news for our Jewish communities in Hackney and beyond, and I and my officers will be engaging with partners including the Community Safety Trust and the Shomrim to answer their questions and listen to their views.
"We have no indication, at this very early stage, that the motivation was connected with any specific local or global events."
