Two men, one aged in his thirties and one in his forties, have been arrested after a man was dragged out of his car which was then set on fire in north Belfast this afternoon (Sunday, August 1).
It happened just before 3pm at Hopewell Avenue.
Police say two men got into the vehicle and made off in the direction of the Crumlin Road.
Detective Sergeant Wilson said the car was found set alight in the Denmark Street area a short time later. The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service extinguished the blaze.
“This was a terrifying ordeal for the victim.
“If you were in the area from Hopewell Avenue to Denmark Street at the time and saw anything, or may have dash cam footage, please contact police on 101 quoting reference 1241 of 1/8/21,” said Detective Sergeant Wilson.
