Pair escape firework attack

Thursday 8th October 2009, 11:30AM BST.

A couple fled after a firework and a brick were thrown through a window as they watched TV.

It started a fire in the kitchen at their terraced home in Church Street, Brierley Hill, and they were outside before firefighters arrived at about 8 last night.

Firefighter Alex Cooksey said they put out the fire, which caused some smoke damage in the kitchen. Police are investigating.
