Gang launches lit firework into bus full of passengers
A gang of reckless youths are being hunted by police after they launched a lit firework into a bus with passengers on board.
Video, taken by a passenger in the back of the bus, shows people screaming as the lit firework ricochets towards them.
Sparks are seen flying as the youths flee the scene.
At least six passengers are seen on board the bus in London.
When the firework is out, two people from the bus can be seen jumping off and giving chase to the gang.
One is heard yelling "What the f***? I swear to God".
Transport for London's Director of Enforcement, Steve Burton, described the behaviour of the youths as "idiotic", the Evening Standard reports.
