Just after 4.30am on Friday 1 March, residents on Addison Road woke to hear noises coming from the front of their house. On investigation two men were seen throwing several molotov cocktails in small green bottles at the home, one of which hit the female resident in the head.
The two men then ran north to a light coloured sedan possibly an early model Toyota Camry and drove from the area.
