Police investigate after teens allegedly throw fireworks at people

Videos posted to social media show teens pushing each other in shopping carts and firing off fireworks — some thrown and aimed at people — in the parking lot of Hamtramck Town Center during Fourth of July festivities. Hamtramck Police Chief Hussein Farhat said one juvenile was detained during the incident and later sent home. He said the department has identified several of the teens shown in the videos and warned that consequences can extend to parents as well. Mayor Adam Alharbi called the behavior “completely unacceptable” in a statement posted to Facebook, saying public gathering spots should be safe for families and neighbors and that “shooting fireworks toward people and cars” puts everyone at risk.
