A man has been apprehended on suspicion of assault after four individuals sustained injuries at a fireworks display. Norfolk Police reported that a firework, originating from outside the event, entered the crowd at the Fawkes in the Walks display in King’s Lynn on Friday, 1 November. Medical personnel, including doctors and paramedics, provided treatment for minor injuries at the location. The man, who is in his 20s, was transported to King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning, where he currently remains. The event, organized by West Norfolk Council, is thought to have attracted a record 20,000 attendees. The council stated: “Although we make a great effort each year to discourage fireworks or sparklers in the park, the firework that entered the crowd was from a property outside our event.”
