Police, fire crews and paramedics were met with havoc in Edinburgh on Saturday night as masked bikers sped through the streets aiming pyrotechnics at cars and people at close range.
Shocking footage emerged from the ongoing disturbance shows balaclava-clad thugs aiming fireworks at groups of people standing at the side of the road. Some of those on the street duck for cover as the rockets explode. Another video shows fireworks being set off in the street as cars brake to avoid the explosions.
It also appears to show thugs aiming the fireworks at an ambulance which has stopped in the middle of the road.
A third video shows a make-shift bonfire alight in the middle of a road near a bus stop.
One police vehicle which was drafted to the scene was struck with a bottle containing a flammable substance, too, but officers have confirmed that no damage was sustained and no injuries were reported.
Members of the public are being urged to avoid the Niddrie area, and locals are being warned to stay in their homes as first responders continue to deal with the disturbing event.
An Edinburgh Police Division spokesperson said: "Local officers working as part of #OpCrackle are being supported by specialist #OpMoonbeam resources following reports of various incidents including antisocial use of fireworks, a break-in to a shop and road blockages.
"A robust police presence will be in place to address the ongoing issues and keep the public safe. Residents within Niddrie are asked to remain indoors and not hinder the ongoing emergency service response."
