Greater Manchester Police are hunting for two men after a woman was seriously injured in a house fire in Leigh.
The blaze took place at around 12.40am on Tuesday 16 October at a house on Montreal Street.
The occupants escaped from the address and a woman, believed to be in her 60s, was taken to hospital with serious burn injuries. She remains in a stable condition.
Police are attempting to trace two men who were seen outside the property around the time of the incident.
Detective Inspector Graham Clare from GMP’s Wigan Division said: “This was a horrendous attack in which a woman has been left with serious injuries, and my thoughts are with her and her family.
“Our investigation is ongoing in order to establish the full circumstances of what happened and find whoever is responsible.
"I would urge anyone who witnessed people acting suspiciously in the area in the early hours of Tuesday morning to come forward and talk to police.”
“There will be an increased police presence in the area while our investigation continues, and I would encourage anyone with questions or concerns to approach the officers at the scene.”
