An off-duty FDNY firefighter walking his dog was viciously beaten by a mob of teens after he confronted them for lighting fireworks, yelling, and screaming, according to police.

The 44-year-old man and his dog were on the corner of 75 Street and Juniper Boulevard in Middle Village, Queens on July 23 at about 9:55 p.m. when he approached the trio about the noise they were making.
