MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Northern Territory's annual cracker night, where members of the public can legally set off their own fireworks, has resulted in injuries to multiple people in Darwin, including a six-month-old who suffered facial burns.
A community garden shed was also burnt down and a member of the public said his partner received burns to her back after a "group of teenagers hiding out in the bushes actively fired at people".
"[A firework] appears to have gone off in his lap," St John emergency communications manager Craig Garraway told ABC Radio Darwin.
Darwin resident David Ciaravolo said his partner was hit when a group of teenagers were shooting fireworks at people celebrating Territory Day at Dripstone Cliffs.
"It's a bit of a tradition for us to head down there … we really love Territory Day, but unfortunately the vibe down there was absolutely terrible this year," he told ABC Radio Darwin.
NT Police confirmed it received reports on Monday night at about 10:30pm of up to 20 youths launching fireworks at people and cars in the area of Dripstone Cliffs.
