Officers working in the Grimesthorpe area of Sheffield have been attacked with fireworks.

No one was injured, and only minor damage was done to the vehicle.
Investigations are underway to find those responsible.
Sheffield North East Neighbourhoods Inspector Gary Bramhall said: “It is appalling that officers who were simply doing their job, protecting the public, have been targeted in this way. Attacks like this place the safety of our officers, and the people they are trying to protect, at risk.
“It is staggering that people would act in such an irresponsible and dangerous way, and incidents like this will not be tolerated.”
Enquiries are ongoing. If you have any information that could help officers, please call 101 and quoting incident number 1260 of 31 October.
