A man is thought to have been set on fire during an arson attack on a house in Poleglass on the outskirts of Belfast.
The attack on the house in Colinbrook Gardens took place on Sunday night at around 11.20pm, when a group of three men approached the house. Petrol was poured over the front door and a plastic milk carton full of petrol was lit and thrown at the front of the house.
