A man in his 20s is sentenced to prison for throwing a rocket at a crowd in Tranås on New Year’s Eve, reports P4 Jönköping.

A teenage girl was so seriously injured by the firework display that she lost the sight in one eye.

The man is sentenced to three and a half years in prison for serious assault, as well as two counts of causing danger to another. He must also pay damages of half a million kroner to the girl. The man is to be deported from Sweden after serving his prison sentence.
