“With being a single parent I had no choice but to take my daughter with me in the car as there was nobody to leave her with.
“While parked outside the takeaway I made a telephone order and waited in my car.
“As I was about to enter the takeaway, I noticed a firework shoot across the road, just miss my car and go off in the centre of the road as a double-decker bus was passing – it just missed the bus.
“I’m guessing it was aimed for the bus.

“I told them I have a two-year-old in the car and their behaviour was dangerous and life-threatening and could cause someone serious damage.
“The teenagers responded by placing the blame on each other.
“I immediately drove away.”
She added: “To be honest it was quite disturbing.
“I've just moved into Sheffield and never seen anything quite like it – such delinquent behaviour.”
The mum has contacted police about the incident.
