Moment idiot yobs strap fireworks to a bike and speed down street launching barrage of rockets into air
THIS is the moment idiot yobs strapped fireworks to a dirt bike before speeding down a city street launching a barrage of rockets into the air.
The youths took to the streets of Bradford, West Yorkshire, over the weekend to terrorise residents with their makeshift mobile missile launchers.
The hooligans strapped firework launchers to the handlebars of a motorbike before tearing off into traffic while shooting dozens of the rockets into the city skyline amid shops and houses.
Video shows one of the group wearing all black and sporting a skeleton balaclava, strapping a tube to his bike and sitting on it to keep it in place.
The tube launches several rockets that whizz into the air and explode as he rides down the street on his bike.
Cars can be heard honking their horns and pedestrians shouting at the youths as their spree of antisocial and dangerous behaviour unfolds.
Flying down the road and weaving between vehicles, dozens of fireworks light up the night sky as they fire in a continuous stream from the bike-mounted launcher.
Several dangerously explode just above the ground narrowly missing cars while others whizz in between the roofs of nearby buildings.
Video of the incident was shared to social media yesterday with the caption: “Meanwhile in Bradford.”
The video of the group’s antisocial activity has since received over 5,300 likes and more than 630 comments from stunned users.
One user wrote: “Fireworks have gone out of control in the UK, increasingly over the past couple of years.”
Another added: “And the police were where?”
A third wrote: “Chuck a stick in between their spokes.”
Another said: “Morons. Pathetic individuals. Why did no one run them down?”
A fifth commented: “If they blow themselves up they should be refused treatment at A&E.”
