A 17-year-old lad has died after yobs were seen "hurling" fireworks down a street.
The teenager was found injured in a back garden in Halifax, West Yorkshire, by cops on Saturday night.
He was rushed to hospital but medics were unable to save him and he tragically died of his injuries.
The teenager died after reportedly climbing over a fence as he fled police.
He then crashed through a greenhouse that fatally cut him.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed they had been dealing with a fireworks incident in the same street before the boy died.
