Montreal police investigators are seeking the public's help in identifying a suspect in connection with an attempted arson this week.
A man was spotted by a security guard just after 3:30 Monday morning trying to break a window at a restaurant on Fleury Street in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough.
He dropped a can of gasoline in the alley adjacent to the building as he fled. The incident was also caught on surveillance video.
The suspect is described as a white man between the ages of 25 and 30 of medium height and thin stature. He wore a dark baseball cap, a pale coat, two-toned gloves and a sweater with ECKO written on the hood.
Anyone with information is asked to call 9-1-1 or the Montreal police Info-Crime line at 514-393-1133.
