It follows an incident when the windows of a home on Montreal Street were smashed before flammable liquid was thrown into the address and set alight.

A man and a woman who were inside at the time managed to escape the flames but the woman suffered life-changing injuries as a result of the incident.

She remains in hospital in a critical condition.

Two men,aged 19 and 22,who were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder on Tuesday 23 October 2018 have been released with no further action taken.
