A man was captured on video throwing a live firework at what appears to be a sleeping homeless person in Harlem, with a massive explosion seen going off at point-blank range.
A brief clip made the rounds on social media on Monday night, showing a group of men and women recording the assailant as he pitched a lit firework at somebody laying on the sidewalk, presumably a homeless man, outside a business in Harlem. The firework is seen detonating just inches away from the victim’s body, making a loud bang and shooting off flares as one bystander is heard laughing.
While it’s unclear when the incident took place, police sources told the New York Post it occurred on Harlem’s Lenox Avenue near West 113th Street. The victim suffered burns on his back according to the NYPD.

The cruel and dangerous stunt comes as New York and several other US cities are gripped by a wave of fireworks complaints, with some police and fire departments seeing a massive spike in calls compared to previous years. Boston police, for example, recorded 1,445 fireworks complaints in the first week of June alone, as opposed to 22 during the same week last year. Footage out of New York City in recent nights, meanwhile, shows what one bystander dubbed a “warzone” of fireworks and gunshots.
Fireworks are ILLEGAL in New York City but if you are black, everything is permitted… Just look at this, this looks like a war zone between gangs:

Blacks are out of control in America, but the coward silent majority still refuses to do anything! What the heck is happening with America? Can it get any worse than this? Probably yes, they they start using guns instead of fireworks… worry not, that time doesn’t look that far ahead.
Look at what they also did to this poor 3 year old child in his own apartment all the way at the 6th floor:

A 3 yr old boy needed 5 stitches and suffered burns to his arm in a fireworks accident on Anderson Ave/W. 167 st in the Bronx. The child was at an open window watching illegal fireworks in the street when one of the ignited projectiles entered his room and struck him. #1010wins pic.twitter.com/eCCPGvI8MM
