San Francisco Police are looking for a naked man reportedly armed with a kitchen knife that may have started a fire in the Castro on Friday afternoon.

Crews are on the scene of the fire at Eureka St. and 18th St., which has been upgraded to a two-alarm fire. Lieutenant Jonathan Baxter said the building is a two-story, detached single-family home.

There are no injuries at this time.

San Francisco Police are reportedly looking for a suspect that was in the apartment, allegedly throwing knives, and who may have been armed with a kitchen knife when he fled the scene.

Officials said it's too early to tell if the two incidents are related.
