The 17-year-old boy was found injured in the garden of a property in Halifax, West Yorkshire, just after 8pm on Saturday night. He was taken to hospital where he died, police said. Yorkshire Live reported that the teenager jumped a fence and fell into a greenhouse after “scenes of chaos” in Vickerman Street as a large group threw fireworks at police. An eyewitness told the news agency that fireworks were being “hurled” into the street at the time the teenager was found injured and described the scenes as “horrific”. West Yorkshire Police referred the incident to the watchdog, the Independent Policing Conduct Office, after officers were called to the road “due to fireworks being fired”. It came as police across the UK reported violence and anti-social behavior linked to Bonfire Night, with the disturbance in Edinburgh described as “disgraceful”. In West Yorkshire, riot officers were called to deal with unrest in Leeds after fireworks were thrown at police in the Hyde Park area of the city. Elsewhere, four youths were arrested after attacking police and fire service vehicles in Bradford Moor ahead of Bonfire Night. In Liverpool, two men were shot dead in a “horrific incident” near a Bonfire Night party.

In Edinburgh, a road was blocked by fire and motorbikes drove through part of the city amid chaos on Bonfire Night on Saturday. Footage shared online showed a motorcycle gang racing through the streets with fireworks being launched along the ground, apparently aimed at people and vehicles.
