A despicable thug was filmed outside a housing project in Fort Worth assaulting a woman with a roman candle over the 4th of July weekend.
The woman is seen trying to escape the barrage of flaming balls as she runs around the parking lot. At one point, her hair catches on fire.
It was a violent Independence Day with more than two dozen people hit by gunfire in Dallas and Fort Worth, five people were killed on July 4.
One resident in South Dallas described the night of the Fourth of July as a "war zone" with fireworks, which are illegal in Dallas, and random gunfire erupting all around her home.
"It was like we were under siege, it was literally like a war zone, I am not overdramatizing," said Eva Jones, president of the homeowner's association for Queen City. "I watched cars go down the street and fire is coming out of the windows of the vehicles because they were shooting guns as well."
She said it would, "be through the grace of God," that no one's house was burned down or anyone injured with what she witnessed on Sunday.
Jones said it was the worst she's seen in 40 years of living on the corner.
