Police last week released a YouTube video showing a white Ford Mustang where the occupant was seen throwing fireworks in two separate incidents.

A tweet by Metro on Tuesday said officers "have identified and arrested the person involved in this fireworks incident on The Strip." Metro did not identify the person who was arrested.

The firework was thrown near Harrah's and two people who were standing on the sidewalk sustained burns.

In a separate incident near the Strip and Harmon, someone in the same car threw a firework at an orange Corvette, but that incident was never reported to police. Police discovered it through their investigation into the fireworks toss near Harrah’s.
