Video: Firework thrown into The Weston Arms pub in Strood by passenger in passing car

This is the moment a car passenger lit a firework - and threw it into a Strood pub doorway.

The missile was thrown through the door and burnt a carpet inside The Weston Arms pub, which was open to customers.

It just missed a man who walked into the pub seconds before it was thrown.

Luckily, no one was injured in the attack and CCTV images were posted on Facebook by pub worker Sarv Jassal.

The footage shows a car pulling up to the junction outside the pub at about 9.15pm on Sunday.

The firework is then lit before being thrown out of the sunroof and into the pub door.
