Birmingham: Fireworks fired at cop van

Fireworks and eggs were thrown at a cop van responding to reports of so called ‘anti-social behaviour.’ The van, which had a number of feds inside, was forced to pull over by Balsall Heath park in Birmingham after it was hit by a “volley of fireworks and pelted with eggs.” Cops were called to the area in Taunton road on the evening of 22 October. A temporary dispersal order for the area was put in place to deter any further ‘anti-social behaviour.’
