Firefighter attacked with firework in Ballycastle

The Fire and Rescue Service has called on young people to think about the consequences of their actions after a firefighter was attacked in County Antrim.

A firework was thrown at the officer as his crew tackled a blaze in Ballycastle on Tuesday.

He was left shocked by the incident.

Assistant Group Commander David Hayburn said the incident could have been a lot worse.

"This man could have lost an eye," he said.
