Video: Moment arsonist in tracksuit hurls 'petrol bomb' at London HQ of Iran International TV - as three are arrested after police chase 

Armed police have arrested a 16-year-old boy and two men after an attempted arson attack on the offices of an Iranian media organisation in north-west London .

An ignited container was thrown towards the premises of Volant Media - which owns UK-based broadcaster Iran International - at around 8.30pm last night.

Iran International has been repeatedly targeted as the media organisation is openly critical of the Iranian government's regime.

The container landed in a car park, where the fire immediately put itself out. No damage was reported and there were no injuries.

Urgent enquiries were carried out and it was established that the suspects left the area in a black SUV.

An Armed Response Vehicle (ARV) in the area quickly located a car matching the description and began a pursuit after the driver failed to stop for police.
