Update: Assault, Yandina

Police investigating an assault at Yandina yesterday are seeking public assistance to locate a white vehicle involved in the incident.

Around 1.30am, a man in a white 1998 Hyundai Excel hatchback stopped in front of a Koongalba Street address before a molotov cocktail was thrown towards the dwelling. The accelerant failed to ignite.

A 43-year-old male occupant of the house confronted the driver of the vehicle before the driver threw a second molotov cocktail at the man.

The man suffered minor burns to his arms and chest and was taken to Nambour General Hospital for treatment.

The vehicle, which is similar to the one pictured, was a two-door model with a rear spoiler and sustained a broken rear passenger side window and possibly interior damage from the fire.

Anyone who may recognise the vehicle or seen it in the area at the time is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
