A teenager and two men have been arrested after an attempted arson attack at the offices of a Persian media organisation in north-west London, the Metropolitan police said.
Officers on patrol were told at about 8.30pm on Wednesday that an “ignited container” had been thrown towards the site in Wembley, landing in a car park where the fire immediately died out. There were no injuries and no damage was reported.
After a police pursuit, a 16-year-old boy and two men aged 19 and 21 were arrested on suspicion of arson endangering life. They remain in police custody.
It is not being treated as a terrorist incident but counter-terrorism officers are investigating, the Met said.
