Over the weekend, the force said officers were subjected to threatening and aggressive behavior while a firework was set off near the entrance to a student accommodation block.

Three people were also arrested and have since been released on bail pending further enquiries.

Inspector Ryan Ludlam, from Leicestershire Police, said: “Lighting fireworks in the street is not only a criminal offence, it is extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury.

“We urge anyone who is considering engaging in this activity or any other form of anti-social behavior to consider the possible consequences of such activity.”

The advert covers the areas of Vaughan Way, St Margaret’s Way, Tigers Way, Oxford Street, Bath Lane and Highcross Street.
