A BOY suffered serious injuries to his hands and burns to his arms, torso and upper legs when a firework was thrown at him.
West Yorkshire Police said the 16-year-old was walking up the ‘catsteps’ from Belgrave Road to Crownest Lane, in Bingley, at 4.15pm on Bonfire Night, when a group passed him and threw the explosive.
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 Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
