An explosion “created by a young man” in Harold Hill has led to the discovery of a large amount of explosives in his home.
The young man was taken to hospital with burns to his face and hands after the explosion in Wolverton House in Chudleigh Road.
Police and forensics are still at the property due to the large amount of explosives discovered after the incident.
It is not thought to be terrorism at this stage.
