A New York City Parks Department worker is arrested after a 10-year-old girl is injured in a fireworks incident in a city park. Authorities say the child finds an M-80 firework in a park bathroom and shows it to a Parks Department worker. Police allege the worker helps light the firework, and the explosion results in severe injuries, including the loss of fingers.
ABC News and the New York Post both describe the event as occurring in a park bathroom and involving an M-80 firework. The New York Post identifies the worker as Joshua Moe, 24, and reports that investigators say he provided a lighter to the girl. Both outlets attribute the alleged actions to the Parks worker, while differing in how specific they are about his identity and the exact means used to ignite the device. Details on charges and the full account of how the firework is handled are not provided in the excerpts.
