An early morning blaze yesterday left one house partially damaged and the lone occupant injured as neighbours related that the man had to be rushed to the hospital.
It was reported that around 12:15am, the young man was seen entering his Lot 17 Owen Street, Kitty yard and just a few minutes after, an explosion was heard. A resident told this newspaper that after hearing the loud noise, he ran outside and saw the blaze as it ravaged the top flat of the wooden house.
When Stabroek News yesterday arrived on the scene, the top flat was seen completely destroyed.
Neighbours within close proximity said they did not have any information on the individual and were only able to say that he appeared to be in his 20s.
