Police are treating a petrol bomb attack on a house in north Belfast as arson.

One person was inside the semi-detached bungalow when a petrol bomb was reportedly thrown through the living room window.

It happened in the Forthriver Road area, at about 03:00 BST on Friday.

“Fortunately no serious injuries have been reported at this time” but damage has been caused to the house, police said.

Det Sgt McCallum said officers attended the scene with Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) colleagues, “who made the area safe”.

“We are treating this attack as arson with intent to endanger life,” Det Sgt McCallum added.

The NIFRS said two appliances from Springfield Fire Station attended the incident.

The cause of the fire “is believed to be deliberate ignition” and the incident was dealt with by 04:13 BST, NIFRS added.
