An arsonist set light to the porch of a Chinese takeaway at a parade of shops off Charteris Road, Allerton, Bradford.
Police and firefighters were called to the Blue Ocean in The Square following reports of fire outside the front door.
Fairweather Green watch manager John Mustoe said someone had also broken into the takeaway and attempted to set two more fires in the kitchen and above the shop.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said the fire had been “deliberate” and a child had been questioned following the incident which happened on Thursday at about 7.30pm.
