The incident occurred at around 11:30pm last night, right after the Mqabba edition of the Malta International Fireworks Festival had ended. Several people were walking back home or to their cars when they stumbled upon this crime scene.

A witness told Lovin Malta that there were children and families everywhere and there was a lot of commotion as police controlled the crowds.

A police spokesperson confirmed they will issue more details later today, possibly through a press conference.
