Seattle police are asking for help identifying a man who may be involved in an arson attempt at a Seattle nightclub.

A man can be seen on security video entering the alley behind Neighbors on Capitol Hill on the morning of Aug. 7. The back door to the popular gay club was set on fire around that time.

Seattle firefighters responded to a report of the fire at 11:30 a.m. The business was closed and no one was hurt. Approximately $350 worth of damage was done.

Seattle police plan to increase patrols in the area around Neighbors, according to KING 5, which also reports that the crime was caught on multiple cameras.

Any information or tips can be submitted to police at 206-615-0923.

It is the second time the popular club has suffered an arson attempt within two years. Musab Mohammed Masmari, 31, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for pouring gasoline and lighting it on fire shortly after the club rang in the New Year in 2014.
