CCTV footage shows the shocking moment a woman throws a petrol bomb at a house that had two children inside in East Sussex.

The petrol bomb failed to ignite with police soon arriving at the scene.

Investigating officer DC Rose Horan said: “This was an extremely disturbing incident which threatened the lives of a family with two young children.”
