As complaints of illegal fireworks skyrocket in New York City, the mayor says he's establishing a task force to crack down on sales.
The task force -- made up of 10 NYPD officers, 12 FDNY fire marshals and 20 members of the Sheriff’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation -- will target those supplying, distributing and possessing large amounts of illegal fireworks, the mayor's office said. The NYPD on Tuesday said it was searching for the man who threw a lit firework on a sleeping homeless person early Monday. Earlier yesterday morning, a homeless male was sleeping on the sidewalk in front of 67 Lenox Avenue, in the confines of the 28 pct, when he was attacked. The male pictured above threw a lit firework on him, which exploded causing burns to the victims back. pic.twitter.
