Teen fighting for life after botched firebombing in Melbourne

A teenage boy is fighting for his life after being severely burned during a car firebombing incident in Taylors Hill, north-west Melbourne, early Monday morning. Two cars parked at the scene were set alight; one of them was a stolen white Hyundai Tucson found crashed into bushes nearby. The teenager attempted to flee but was caught due to his injuries and rushed to the Royal Children's Hospital in critical condition.
