A brazen arson attack in Philadelphia's Tacony neighborhood was caught on camera. MattPetrillo spoke exclusively with the victim. 'If I find out who it is, they better get him before I do. I told the cops the same thing,' he said.

The victim says his next-door neighbor helped save his life.

Security video shows the heart-pounding moments on June 30. In the video, you see a man throw what police describe as an incendiary device at a house along the 4900 block of Wellington Street in Tacony. The man then walks to his car, takes out a second object and appears to light it before throwing it at the same house, which then starts a fire. The man then drove away.As the flames spread outside, Hodge was asleep inside the home, and with his air conditioner running, he didn’t hear a thing.

“I appreciate her. I thanked her and all that because we’re neighbors,” Hodge said. “We look out for each other around here.”“It was a water bottle, a plastic water bottle with paper stuck in it with kerosene or gasoline,” she said. “You could smell it.”
