This is the shocking moment a pair of mask-wearing thugs throw bricks at someone's home before one launches a flaming petrol bomb through the front door in a targeted attack.
Dorset Police have confirmed they are investigating the arson attack, which took place in Bournemouth at around 1.05am on May 15.
Police and firefighters arrived on the scene and a man inside the property received a minor burn to his hand but did not need to go to hospital.
And horrifying footage posted to the force's official X page shows the incident unfolding.
Two hooded men, also sporting balaclavas, could be seen weaving their way between two cars on the property's driveway before one appears to throw a brick at the front external wall of the house.
The other then lobs something at the same wall while the original perpetrator works away at lighting an object, doused in petrol, on fire.

Inaudible cries can be heard as the second figure backs onto the pavement before saying, 'let's go'.
Someone who appears to be inside the house then replies: 'Hang on. Hang on. They're getting the proper [censored] out.'
With the object now in flames, the man steps back to the edge of the drive before throwing it through the door.
The blazing weapon then seems to explode before the pair then dart off together across the road.
Dorset Police captioned the incredible video: 'APPEAL | We are investigating an arson at an address in Bournemouth and are issuing CCTV footage of the incident as we look to identify two suspects.
