Musician burned by firecracker during show

A musician has been injured by a firecracker that had been thrown on to the stage during a performance at South West Rocks on NSW's Mid North Coast.

A band was playing at a licensed club on Sportsman Way about 10.30pm on Saturday when a lit firecracker was thrown on to the stage.

A member of the band attempted to extinguish the firecracker with his foot. However, the "bunger" exploded, burning a hole in his shoe.

He suffered superficial burns to his foot and was treated at the scene. He was later taken to Kempsey District Hospital for further treatment.

Police are appealing for anyone with information about the incident, or who may have videotaped the incident to contact Crime Stoppers.
