A Northumbria Police officer is recovering after being attacked by a group of youths who were using shop-bought fireworks as a weapon. 

At around 22:25 hours on Saturday, 5th November, the Northumbria Police officer was on patrol in Southwick. 

They were speaking to two teenagers when a group of males approached them.

Without warning, the group of cowardly males stood on Davison Terrace and launched rockets towards the officers and teenagers they were speaking to. 

One of the fireworks struck a 14-year-old male who was speaking to the officers. The firework struck the male, injuring his arm and perforating his eardrum. 

After hitting the boy, the firework ricocheted into a police officer, causing severe burns to his arm and torso. 

The exploding firework also damaged a patrol vehicle.

A spokesperson for Northumbria Police said:

‘Enquiries are ongoing, and we believe the group involved were responsible for other pockets of disorder in the nearby area. 

‘We’re especially keen to hear from anyone with dashcam footage from between the times of 18:00 and 22:40 hours.’

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
