A group of kids threw a firework under a baby's pram on a tram in IJsselstein on Friday. The police are looking for witnesses. The mother and the baby got on the tram at the Biinenstad stop at 16:34 on Friday. Once the tram started driving she saw a group of four kids between the ages of 12 and 14 years, three boys and a girl, lighting fireworks. One of the kids threw a firework under the pram. The mother managed to protect her child so there were no injuries. The fireworks frightened several passengers on the tram. The tram was also damaged by the fireworks.
