Riot cops targetted with petrol bombs & fireworks in Scottish Bonfire Night chaos

EIGHT officers were injured after riot cops were pelted with fireworks, bricks and petrol bombs during Bonfire Night chaos.

Shocking incidents unfolded in Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow after hundreds of youths took to the streets with explosives.

Police were called to the Niddrie area of Edinburgh at around 4.40pm after locals were left "terrified" when around 100 youngsters targeted vehicles and houses in the area with fireworks.

Video footage from the area shows officers in riot gear standing in a line as youths lob explosives at the cops' ring of steel.
