Mother and daughter hospitalised after home petrol bombed

GARDAÍ are investigating a petrol bomb attack on a house in Cork city yesterday morning which resulted in a mother and daughter being taken to hospital.

Detectives working on the case believe a hammer was used to break the front livingroom window of the house on Cathedral Road, on the northside of the city, before two molotov cocktails were thrown inside.

A Garda spokesman said the attack took place at around 6.10am and it was perpetrated by at least one male, who may have fled the area on foot.
