Children Hurt By Fireworks at Ben Vitale Ballfield
This morning there was a loud explosion at Ben Vitale Ballfield (see gold circle on the map below for this ballfield). The explosion shook the ground of the area around the ballfield. People in the neighborhood thought the explosion came from the Fort Hamilton Army Base.
A child lit a firework that he found on Bay 8th Street. The fireworks exploded in his hand. This child was seriously hurt and two other boys were hurt as well. They were all taken to the hospital. Please pray for these three children and their parents as well (what started out as a baseball morning has turned into a nightmare for them).
Outside the ballfield were many ambulances, police cars and firetrucks. Parents at the adjacent baseball field shared about this.
Hugs,
