A Brisbane man accused of trying to kill a 28-year-old woman by setting her on fire has made a brief appearance in court.
Matt James Nolan, 27, cried in the dock of Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday less than 24 hours after he was charged with attempted murder and entering a dwelling with intent.

Police are alleging he doused the woman in an accelerant about 10.45am on Tuesday at a home at Aldea Circuit at Bracken Ridge, north of Brisbane.
The woman, who is believed to be known to the accused, was treated in hospital for burns to her arms and chest.
The court heard Nolan was suffering from schizophrenia and his matter was adjourned to the Mental Health Court on August 3.
