A two year old girl has been struck by a firework in an incident in Newry last night, Halloween. The firework was thrown into her garden and caused a burn to her face as well as setting alight curtains in her home.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident which occured at Rockfield Heights, Newry.
The little girl was standing on the back doorstep with her parents at around 8.15pm when the firework was thrown over the fence and struck her on her face causing a large burn. The firework then exploded and set alight the curtains on the patio doors, which were open. The child’s coat was also burned.
Police are asking for help in identifying those responsible. Please call police in Ardmore on 101, quoting reference 2463 31/10/20.
