OCEAN CITY, Md. - One person was arrested after a group of people shot fireworks into the crowd on the Ocean City Boardwalk Friday evening, according to the Ocean City Police Department.

The identity of the suspect and possible charges have not yet been released.
Ocean City Police say there is no ongoing threat to the public.
