Police appeal for more information after woman was allegedly set on fire in Medina

PIC: File

Arson Squad detectives are continuing their investigation into an incident which left a woman with burns to 35 percent of her body.

A 37-year-old man has been charged after allegedly dousing part of the Cowcher Way home and the woman with petrol before setting it alight around 1.15pm on Sunday.

The woman, aged in her 20s, managed to run from the house and alert neighbours who were able to put out the flames and call emergency services.

Authorities particularly want to speak to several members of the public who were walking along Cowcher Way at time of the incident and went to the woman's aid. 

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online at www.crimestopperswa.com.au.
