A heat­ed ar­gu­ment be­tween neigh­bours has left one man hos­pi­talised af­ter be­ing burnt. An­tho­ny Lal­la, 59, of Ja­cob Hill ,Waller­field was at his home, when he got in­to an al­ter­ca­tion with his neigh­bour. It was re­port­ed that his neigh­bour left and re­turned with a friend and his son, armed with a cut­lass and molo­tov cock­tail. The men at­tacked Lal­la.

One of Lal­la's sons came to his res­cue and threw the molo­tov cock­tail at the neigh­bour's son, who was set ablaze. The even­tu­al­ly came back and burnt Lal­la's house to the ground. Po­lice have since ar­rest­ed two per­sons while the burn vic­tim re­mains hos­pi­talised un­der po­lice guard.
