Victim of boiled water attack sues hostel

Mark Inglis, 46, told the High Court he had been living at the Salvation Army premises for homeless men at York House, Longford St, Dublin, for about nine months at the time of the attack because he was desperate and had nowhere to go.
He said the lights went out in the TV room and a kettle of boiling water was thrown at him, the kettle ending up upside down on his lap.
