Duo wanted for throwing lit firework at NYPD officer in Queens police

This week, police in Queens are looking for two individuals who are accused of tossing a lit firework at an NYPD officer who was on duty.

The NYPD released photos on Tuesday of the couple they are looking for in connection with Sunday night's incident in South Richmond Hill.

The 28-year-old officer was performing crowd control close to 118th Street and 101st Avenue when one of the men ignited a firework and the other threw it at the officer, according to authorities. The two then left the region on foot.

The officer was transported to a nearby hospital and was in stable condition.
