X footage looks to show yobs firing rockets in Bradford road

The video was shared by London & UK Street News on X on Saturday and purportedly shows carnage ensuing that same evening on Great Horton Road at the hands of several dark-clothed, masked individuals.

It begins focused on one person on a motorbike, who looks to have a lit firework in their hand, pointing it out towards the street.

A large amount of traffic can be seen heading towards the individual holding the camera as the fireworks continue to explode just above the road, with members of the public also spotted on the footpaths.

At one point, the person filming flips the camera and another individual on a motorbike holding a rocket can be seen, before they ride past and in front of the first biker.

One of the bikers with the rockets rides past the crossroads as a white car turns into Horton Grange Road and then looks to aim the device towards the vehicle, with rockets exploding just inches away from it.
