Several people have been injured after fireworks went into a crowd during an organised display at a cricket club.

The incident took place at an event hosted by Stone Swynnerton Park Cricket Club in Staffordshire.

Stone's firework display, which was attended by around 3,000 people, saw the pyrotechnics veer into the crowd at around 7pm.

"A firework went off into the crowd and a load of people ran away," an eyewitness said.

"I heard an announcement made that they were asking for a first aider and I was told that six people were hit by fireworks. The fireworks later resumed."
