Yobs aimed fireworks at paramedics and police trying to save dying teen
FIREWORK yobs aimed rockets at paramedics and police trying to save a dying teen.
The lad suffered horrific injuries when he fell into a greenhouse while trying to flee cops.
But as medics fought to stem the bleeding from his chest wounds, they had rockets fired at them.
A 50-strong gang had earlier let off fireworks in a street in Halifax, West Yorks, on Bonfire Night and run off when cops arrived.
Shortly after, medics were called to a nearby garden where a lad — named locally as Qais Muhammad, 17, — was lying in a pool of blood.
The teenager, from Bradford, is thought to have jumped over a fence and crashed through the greenhouse.

“It was scaring many people and the police were called.
