People in a raucous crowd at an illegal bonfire Monday pelted East Haven firefighters and police officers with ice chunks and other items, police said Tuesday.
No one was seriously hurt, but police had to call in help from other agencies and blast the crowd with pepper spray while arresting two men.
Officers were dispatched to 113 Bradford Ave. to help with a large crowd. Some people were throwing snow and ice balls at firefighters while they tried to douse the bonfire, police said.
As officers spoke with Glen Degray, 56, people began to throw snow and ice at the cops, police said.
