A 31-year-old woman is in hospital after being burned in a house fire on West End Avenue early yesterday morning.

Police reported that the woman was alone in the house when she woke up to find herself on fire shortly before 4am. She managed to escape the home, which was fully engulfed in flames.

Fire services extinguished the blaze, but the victim sustained serious burns and was taken to hospital. Her condition is currently unknown.

In a separate incident, a 45-year-old man was injured during a fight in Flamingo Gardens on Sunday.

According to reports, the man was involved in a dispute with another man at a home on Doubloon Drive. The altercation escalated, with the suspect allegedly throwing hot liquid at the victim and hitting him with a blunt object.

His injuries are listed as serious.

Police say investigations into both incidents are ongoing.
