Cops hunt firework jerk

- Beckie Strum

Police are looking for the firebug who tossed some leftover Fourth of July firecracke­rs into a marked patrol car and set it ablaze in Fort Greene.

The man was standing on Carlton Avenue near Atlantic Avenue when he threw a consumergr­ade aerial shell firework inside the police cruiser at around 3: 30 a. m. on Sunday, according to cops.

The fireworks erupted into flames and caused “substantia­l damage” to the interior of the car, police said.

A stillframe ( inset) from surveillan­ce video shows the criminalmi­schief suspect: a thin, black man wearing a white Tshirt and darkcolore­d pants.
