POLICE have described as a "vile act" an attack on a woman who was set alight in Sydney's CBD in a domestic dispute.
Emergency services were called to a building on Castlereagh Street about 6.15pm (AEDT) on Friday after receiving reports that the 34-year-old woman had been splashed with an unknown liquid and set on fire.
The woman, who's an Australian resident of Thai background, was taken to St Vincent's Hospital before being transferred to Concord Hospital where she remains in a serious and stable condition.
About 6.35pm emergency service crews found a 28-year-old man with burns to his arms in Wattle Street, Ultimo.
He was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital where he remains under police guard.
Police said the man, who's also of Thai background, was a suspect in the attack and "was in a domestic relationship with the victim".
Detective Superintendent Mark Walton told reporters police were investigating the attack as an attempted murder and expected to question the man when he was released from hospital.
"This is a vile act and I personally struggle to think of a worse act that one person can commit upon another," Mr Walton said.
"Domestic violence occurs in the home in most occasions not in a public place where others will report the crime.
"It (domestic violence) is a terrible blight on our community."
Mr Walton said it was fortunate there were people nearby who were able to assist in treating the woman shortly after the attack occurred.
He said the attack was carried out in a public part of the property and that there had been a "history of issues" between the couple.
