:04:54. > :04:56.and thrown at cars. These are just some
:04:57. > :05:02.of the videos, all posted Whether you were driving
:05:03. > :05:10.in your car, or sitting at home So residents here posted
:05:11. > :05:13.and they posted in their hundreds. Someone literally got a firdwork
:05:14. > :05:25.in their arm yesterday while they were walking thehr child
:05:26. > :05:28.home from school. And this was amongst
:05:29. > :05:32.the worst footage filmed. Someone shared apparently a light
:05:33. > :05:34.from a rogue firework. The morning after and the owner
:05:35. > :05:40.didn't want to speak to us but he did confirm off camera indeed
:05:41. > :05:43.that a fireworks' box had bden thrown over his wall and set alight
:05:44. > :05:46.to his shed, tree and fence. Eventually I found one resident
:05:47. > :05:49.who was prepared to speak on camera. concerned, but I have seen
:05:50. > :06:01.they always gather here. I don't know if it is Hallowe'en
:06:02. > :06:04.or not, they obviously gathdr here and really it makes
:06:05. > :06:06.the residents scared and worried. At this time of year,
:06:07. > :06:08.teenagers misusing fireworks What is about what happened here,
:06:09. > :06:13.is that there were some 60 people firing fireworks at each other
:06:14. > :06:15.and according to the residents that I've been speaking to,
:06:16. > :06:18.that they weren't children, they weren't teenagers,
:06:19. > :06:20.they were in fact, mostly in their 20s, men and women,
:06:21. > :06:23.some wearing balaclavas, others firing fireworks frol piping
:06:24. > :06:25.from their shoulders. A few days ago this
:06:26. > :06:31.was filmed in Stamford Hill. Keep an eye on the
:06:32. > :06:33.teenagers with the bike. Their victims knew nothing
:06:34. > :06:36.of what was happening. One eight-year-old girl was left
:06:37. > :06:38.with burns to her leg and the police This patrol car was hit by fireworks
:06:39. > :06:43.in Tottenham last night. It prompted this call
:06:44. > :06:46.from the local MP. I think when fireworks can be used
:06:47. > :06:49.as weapons, in the age in which we are, and they could be
:06:50. > :06:51.very, very dangerous weapons, indeed, very, very, sadly,
