A fire believed to have been started by an e-bike battery has ripped through a block of flats in east London leaving seven residents and one firefighter in hospital.
Emergency services were called to Bradbeer House on Cornwall Avenue, Bethnal Green, just before midnight after thick smoke was seen around the building.
The fire affected all 18 flats in the building, displacing dozens of residents.
Witness accounts suggest the fire was sparked by lithium batteries from a second-hand electric bike, with one resident allegedly charging two bikes at the time of the fire.
A neighbour commented on Facebook that the resident had 14 batteries stored in his flat.


A London Fire Brigade source confirmed: ‘We were called to a fire at a residential property in Bradbeer House, Cornwall Avenue, shortly before midnight on 9 April.
‘An electric bike is believed to be involved, though a full investigation is underway.
