Video footage has emerged revealing the moment a bold group of vandals desecrated and firebombed the Melbourne office of Jewish Labor MP Josh Burns.
The horrifying footage shows a group of at least six people, some donned in all black while others wear high-vis – firebombing the Mr Burns' Melbourne office.
Immediately following the firebombing a truck drives past and the group of vandals flee south down Barkley Street before turning right onto Blessington Street. Alongside the slogan, the windows of Mr Burns' office were smashed and the vandals lit two fires. Picture: David Crosling. Picture: NewsWire / David Crosling
"What has it proved other than it was a dangerous and silly act that has caused distress?” Mr Burns said. “The attack on Josh Burns’ office was despicable and dangerous and one that requires more than words of condemnation," he said in a statement.
