Police are appealing for information after a brick was thrown through a window in an arson attack in north Belfast.
The incident is being treated as an attack with intent to endanger life.
At around 8.15pm on Sunday December 28 police were alerted to reports of a fire at a residential property in the Lowwood Park area.
PSNI Detective Sergeant McVeagh said: “Officers attended alongside colleagues from Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service.
“It appears that a brick was thrown through a window at the front of the property, smashing it.
“An accelerant was then poured over the front door and set alight, causing scorch damage.
“Two adults were present in the property at the time but, thankfully, no injuries were reported.”
He added: “We are treating this attack as arson with intent to endanger life.
“Our inquiries are ongoing and I would appeal to anyone who may be able to assist with our investigation, particularly anyone with CCTV, dashcam or other relevant footage, to contact us.”
