Police searching for man after suspected arson attack at Gosford office buildings
Police have released an image of a man they believe is linked to a suspected arson attack at two office buildings on the NSW Central Coast today.
Emergency services were called to a building on Donnison Street, Gosford about 2.20pm after reports of explosions.
The building was evacuated and nobody was seriously injured, however shortly after police were called to another building on the same street.
9News understands one building was a legal aid office while the other was a law firm. 
Witnesses told police a man was seen entering both buildings before lighting a fire and fleeing.
A 54-year-old man was treated by paramedics for smoke inhalation.
