Police have released an image of a man they want to speak to following an incident of wilful fire raising in Dundee earlier this year.

On Sunday, 27th June, two women aged 22 and 28-years-old were taken to Ninewells Hospital to be treated for serious injuries after the blaze at a property on Watson Street.

A number of nearby properties were evacuated following the fire which took hold at around 1:40am.

The man, police believe can assist with enquiries, is described as wearing dark clothing, a dark face covering and black adidas trainers with white stripes.

Appeal for information

Detective Constable Gavin Ogilvie said: ā€œWe are asking the male pictured or anyone in the area at the time who may have seen anything before or after the incident to get in touch.ā€
