I saw this the other day and I wondered why this wasn't getting national news coverage, I can't help but think that if the races of the attacker and victim were reversed it would be and the BBC would make an episode of Dr Who about it.
Some idiot threw a firework onto a bus on Wilmslow rd. last night, it landed on a child's pram containing two toddlers, whose Mother reacted quickly to grab the firework and throw it to an unoccupied area of the bus, it's not clear whether any of the children were hurt but paramedics treated three people at the scene. There is no description of the culprit only to say he was among a group dressed in black on bicycles.
