Police are looking for a man who allegedly threatened a home's resident with a gun before setting fire to the property in Brisbane. 9News

Mitchell James Wilson is believed to have an AK-47 and has been on the run for three days after two shootings and a house fire, police allege.

Then at 8.55pm in Mount Gravatt in the city, he allegedly waited for two women finishing work to walk down a dark laneway before ordering one to get into the Audi.Desperate to find them, 20 minutes later Wilson pulled up at a Sunnybank home in Brisbane's south, armed with a jerry can. The drug trafficker confronted a man, doused petrol in the hallways and bedroom, and set the house alight before jumping back in the car and leaving, as the fireball erupted.Despite police searching several homes across Brisbane, honing in on Bracken Ridge and Redcliffe, where it's believed he has ties, he remains on the run."I consider this man armed, dangerous, irrational, but particularly unpredictable." Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham said.
