“We were taking the picture with our phone and then the next thing, I was on the ground. I felt disjointed. My sister and I were screaming,” Rachel said. “I got burnt on my thigh and stomach and it’s left lightning-like marks behind on me and my sister. I couldn’t feel my arm.”
The three were helped to their feet by passers-by. The three then waited at the H at Moseley Lock Cafe before paramedics arrived and took them to St. George’s Hospital in Tooting. The three said that while all of them sustained some injury, Andrew was more stunned by the incident than physically harmed.
