An NYPD patrol car caught fire after someone threw fireworks inside the vehicle as police were breaking up a crowd in Brooklyn early Sunday, authorities said.
Cops were dispersing people who gathered for illegal fireworks on Carlton Avenue near Lafayette Avenue in Fort Greene at about 2:30 a.m. when one of the explosive devices was thrown into the marked car, police said.
The inside of the vehicle caught fire, and officers had to use a fire extinguisher to put out the flames.
The officers were not injured, cops said.
There have been no arrests, and police are still investigating.
