"A man has been accused of arson and attempted murder after a fire at a block of flats in north London left three children in hospital. The Metropolitan Police said it charged Nathaniel Dwyer-White, 33, in relation to a fire in a residential building in Maybury Close, Enfield, on Monday. He was charged on Wednesday with attempted murder, arson with intent to endanger life, causing actual bodily harm, stalking and sending threatening letters or communication, police said."
"A resident who lives near the flats, Vicky Gardner, was walking her dog at 5.15am when she saw the fire and called the fire brigade. I couldn't hear anything, but I immediately saw flames shooting at the top of the roof, she told The Independent. At the same time, one of my neighbours had come out of her property and they were going and knocking on doors and waking people up because no one had come out at this point."
