A boy has been arrested after officers were called to a group of teenagers throwing fireworks in a Hull street.

Humberside Police said they were called to Dalwood Close in Bransholme at about 19:00 GMT on Sunday.

An officer was assaulted during the arrest, but "not seriously injured", the force added.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker, possession of class B drugs and attempting to possess with intent to supply class B drugs, police said. He remains in custody.

A Humberside Police spokesperson said: "We take a zero-tolerance approach when it comes to anyone deliberately looking to harm others enjoying the occasions in the lead-up to and on Halloween itself.

"This includes people being anti-social and behaving in a way that taunts or intimidates people, or throwing things at people, their houses, or cars."
