Fireworks were mistakenly fired into the crowd at around 7pm.

Flares flew into a baby’s pram which led to a mum flinging it out with her own hands to save her child, according to a witness.

A private medical team employed by the Stone Cricket Club were on hand to tackle the burns and blisters caused to the crowd.

It is understood around six people were affected as surrounding families and onlookers scattered.

"We felt the heat as it came into us. My son's hood is singed."

While a mum-of-two alleged the rocket misfired so close to her she was forced to "throw" her horrified daughter out of firing line.

Commenting on Facebook page, one stunned guest penned: "It came right at myself, my two children and my other half, I had to throw my daughter.

"We left after it happened, hope everyone else was okay."
