Shocking video footage has captured screams as lit fireworks were launched towards a tram in Manchester city centre on Sunday (October 16). Footage taken from Exchange Square, outside the Arndale, show the fireworks going off, shooting along the ground and even beneath a tram.
Screams can be heard as the fireworks go off, causing multiple loud bangs as they fly in random directions. The incident was captured on Sunday evening, at around 5.30pm.
Witnesses said the fireworks were being 'pointed at people' before going off, leaving children and families screaming. In the clip, multiple loud bangs echo around the square as a crowd of people wait to board the Rochdale tram service.

One onlooker, who took the video footage and shared it with the Manchester Evening News said: "I had just finished work and had my headphones in when I suddenly heard this huge bang, it scared the s*** out of me and everyone around me.
"They were literally being pointed at people and were just being fired off all around the square as people were screaming. One of them blew itself under the tram.
"A load of teenagers ran off from the tram platform after they had been set off. It is lucky they didn't hit anyone or injure them. There were a lot of kids and families around who were obviously scared. You can hear them screaming on the footage."
It is a criminal offence to set off fireworks in the street or in a public place unless they are used as part of an organised event by licensed professionals.
