Shocking footage shows yobs lobbing fireworks during chaos in Dundee on Hallowe'en - as cops claimed 999 crews were targeted. Video footage showed fireworks exploding in the street, in Kirkton. A police chopper circled overhead and riot cops were sent to deal with the disorder. One police officer was injured and Police Scotland said kids chucked explosives at 999 crews. Cars were forced to drive on grass verges due to huge fires burning in the road. A witness said: "It was pretty scary, you don't expect to see something like that happening in Dundee. "It's always felt safe for me and my family. "I don't remember something like this happening, that's what makes it scarier. "This is the kind of thing you read about in the papers, not something that you expect in your own city "It went on for a couple hours last night, and the police helicopter was going around until pretty late." Chief Superintendent Phil Davison said: “There is no justification for the behaviour and disorder which was seen in the Kirkton area of Dundee last night. "Enquiries are ongoing to identify everyone involved. “Throwing fireworks and other items towards emergency services is reckless and dangerous. "No one should go to work and expect to be attacked. “One officer suffered a minor injury and damage was caused to a school and a number of vehicles. “I would like to reassure the public of Dundee that we remain committed to keeping them safe as we understand last night’s behaviour must have been really distressing for residents in the areas. “We have a range of highly-trained public order officers available to policing commanders across Scotland to enhance resources and deal with any issues that arise. Officers will be patrolling the local areas to provide public reassurance. “I would appeal to anyone who knows who was involved in the disorder, or has any information from last night, to contact Police Scotland on 101."
