Police are appealing for information in relation to a petrol bomb attack in west Belfast in the early hours of this morning.
Inspector Moutray said: “We received a report, shortly before 2.10am, that Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Services crews were attending a fire at a property at Norglen Parade.
“It was subsequently discovered that a petrol bomb had been thrown at the front door of the house. One person was inside at the time.
“Fortunately, the fire was extinguished by a neighbour prior to the arrival of colleagues from NIFRS, however, had it been given more time to take hold, it could have resulted in considerable damage to the property, and endangered life.
“Our enquiries into this incident are continuing, and we are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time, and saw any suspicious activity, or who may have any information which could assist, to call 101, quoting reference number 160 of 23/12/21.”
