Video has emerged of a frightening Independence Day incident in Brooklyn that shows a group of young men firing off Roman Candles at a cane-waving elderly man in his pyjamas.
The incident happened Wednesday night in Crown Heights as a group of men were seen shooting the fireworks directly at the man as they taunted him.
He ended up chasing the youths out into the street as he raised his walking stick in the air, threatening to hit them, reports Daily Mail.
The powerful firework continued to pump out fiery projectiles every few seconds narrowly avoiding causing serious injury to the man who was quite literally in the line of fire.
The man was jeered by the gathering crowd as whooshes and bangs continued to fill the air with the pensioner narrowly avoiding being struck and seriously hurt.
