Video emerges of yobs throwing fireworks at each other on Sheffield estate

The footage, taken by local resident Apryl Marie on her smartphone, shows gangs of youths in Broomhall using fireworks as weapons.

Apryl said the people responsible also throw fireworks at houses and cars in the area and that the problem is ‘escalating’.

She is now calling on police to intervene in the area before someone is seriously injured.

South Yorkshire Police have been asked to comment.
