A BABY and a two-year-old boy were rushed to hospital after yobs threw a firework into a Keighley house.

The youngsters were taken to Airedale Hospital as a precaution following the incident, which happened shortly after 5pm yesterday.

A man and another boy who were also in the house, in Cartmel Road, were uninjured.

The firework was hurled inside the terrace property when one of the family answered a knock at the door, with the attackers then running off.

“When we arrived all the occupants were safely outside,” said a Keighley fire service spokesman.

“There was some scorching to the floor in the house and there had been a bit of smoke but we didn’t need to do anything.”

Crews from Keighley and Bingley fire stations attended.

Police are investigating the incident.
