Newcastle Police have set up a crime scene at a home in Islington after a fire overnight.
Fire crews were called to the home on Chin Chen Street just after 3am to reports of a fire.
There was no damage to the property after a number of Molotov cocktails at the home - the occupant was awoken by an unknown noise outside and quickly realised what was happening extinguishing the small blaze which had started.
No one was injured.
Police are treating the incident as suspicious - the premises may be linked to a local bikie gang.
