An 11-year-old boy is at risk of losing his eye after being hit by a firework in Lancashire last night (Friday 4th November 2016).

The child was watching a display at The Railway Club on Rosegrove Lane in Burnley at about 19:45.

An investigation's underway but police don't suspect a crime's been committed.

It comes less than a week after four other children were injured by fireworks in Nelson.
