A number of masked men, they jumped out.

They were carrying implements.

Couldn't really see what they were in the video of this attack.

But they smashed down the windows of this man's house and they also smashed down the windows of an innocent neighbour's house.

The innocent neighbour being the people who were actually caught up in this attack last week.

Yeah, that's right.

And so this was an incident that happened shortly after midnight on New Year's Eve.

It was a family enjoying New Year's Eve shortly after 12 o'clock as they were getting ready for bed.

A petrol bomb was thrown at their front door and basically it exploded and flames engulfed the front of the house.

Now, this would have been much worse, except one of the daughters in the house managed to get out and to alert some neighbors.

And we spoke to some of those neighbors, some of them were first at the scene, and by the time they got out to this innocent family's house, they could see five members of the family inside the second floor window.

Now, the flames had already...

gathered at the bottom of the house.

So this got big really quick.

This got big really quick.

And these people had no way out.

So one of the neighbors, a young man called Emmanuel Bello, him and his neighbors, they grabbed stones and started firing them up at the second floor window to try and break the window, which they did manage to do.

And then they were shouting up at this family to jump

Now you can imagine how terrified you would be, we're talking about young teenagers as well here, with flames coming up.

But they did jump, thankfully.
