Montreal police have released video of an arsonist who tried to burn down a restaurant in December.

On Dec. 10, 2015, a man repeatedly battered a window at Dilallo Burgers on Jean Talon St. and then tossed a Molotov cocktail inside.

Café Empire, located across the street, was attacked at the same time in the same fashion.

Both firebombs were ineffective, sputtering out before firefighters arrived.

Police say the attacker in the Dilallo Burger attempt is a man of medium build, who was wearing a puffy black winter coat over a grey hooded sweatshirt, blue pants, white sneakers, and what appear to be yellow and beige gloves.

Anyone with information is asked to call Info-Crime at 514-393-1133.
