One mum said part of a firework hit her five-year-old son in the face
Video shows the moment fireworks exploded in a crowd injuring several people - including a number of children. Attendees of a bonfire night event were left screaming in terror after a firework shot into the crowd on Friday evening.
After a brief pause to make an announcement requesting first aid, half the crowd walked out, with many of them in shock that the fireworks then resumed. One onlooker was filming as the incident occurred - and said they "instantly heard screams". "After it happened, everything froze. We didn't know what was going on. Half the crowd left. But then the fireworks started going off again!
Other visitors also took to social media to express their horror at the events. One woman said: "My son took some of a rogue firework to the chin. He's five. He was terrified. Such a shame. Can't fault the first aiders. I can't believe they carried on either."
