Dodgers fan blows up hand with fireworks in downtown LA

An evening celebrating the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series title takes a traumatic turn for a fan who attempts to light fireworks.

One user, @WhiteWallStuntz, shared a video of another man attempting to set off fireworks in downtown Los Angeles. When people in the video warned the man not to point the firecracker at them, the firecracker exploded, practically blowing the fan's hands off.

The graphic video not only showed the fan covered in blood, but at certain points his face appeared to be in complete shock as a witness begged the fan to sit down.

Another person also pleaded with someone in the crowd to call 9-1-1 to provide the fan with medical attention.
