A house door in Rudolph Street, Sliema, was set on fire early this morning.

No one was injured but an elderly couple that lives there needed assistance. 

The blaze was reported at 12.45 and was put out by policemen using fire extinguishers.

The couple - one of whom is bedridden - said they were mystified as to why anyone would want to set their house door on fire.
