Police are appealing for information after a boy was injured in an incident involving a firework in Bingley.
The attack took place between 4.15pm and 4.30pm on Monday 5 November, when the 16-year-old walked up the ‘catsteps’ from Belgrave Road to Crownest Lane.
A group of males passed him on the steps and an object, believed to have been a lit firework, was thrown towards him.
The resulting explosion caused serious injuries to his hands and burns to his arms, torso and upper legs.
The victim remains in hospital where he is continuing to receive treatment for his injuries.
Detective Inspector Mark Taylor, of Bradford District CID, said: “Our enquiries suggest there were other people in the area at the time who may have seen these males or the incident itself, and we would ask anyone with information which may assist our investigation to contact us.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Bradford District CID on 101, quoting crime reference 13180555510, or use the live chat facility on the West Yorkshire Police website.
Information can also be reported anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
