The Hays Police Department is asking for the public’s helping in locating the person or persons responsible for an attempted arson Tuesday night in Hays.

According to Lt. Brandon Wright with the Hays Police Department, someone threw a Molotov cocktail incendiary device at an apartment complex Tuesday night in the 200 block of West Fourth. The incident occurred just before 10 p.m.

Wright said no one was injured in the incident but a window on the second floor of the building was broken out and that approximately 10 square feet of grass caught on fire.

While no one was hurt, Wright said this could have been a dangerous situation, and officers are asking anyone with information on the incident to contact the police department at (785) 625-1030.
